Do I need air bags?

The 5th wheel I'm considering getting has a hitch weight of 1990lbs and just curious if I need air bags. My truck is a long bed CC 4x4 6.2L with a rear GAWR of 6340lbs. Thanks.
  • You won't need airbags for a 2K pin, but as weight is added, such as in basement, bedroom closet, under bed, etc, the pin wt will go up. As mentioned above, try it as is, you can add bags later, if needed.

  • The loaded weight will be much more. If you are still within the specs for your truck, then hitch up and see if it sags more than what you find acceptable, if so, add air bags.
