Towing Harley and trailer
I have a 2012 Silverado Duramax Diesel Crew Cab 4WD 2500 HD Pulling a 6700LB Dry weight Travel Trailer loaded to around maybe 8000LB Loaded. I have a 14000LB Equillizer distribution hitch, the biggest...

I've had it loaded before but after loading the bike the rear of the truck sagged a little. It all works but I want to know if I can use air bags to readjust the rear end or to set distribution for both loads. It's just a hassle to readjust the hitch for bike and no bike.
The truck can handle a tongue weight of 2000LB. I've extended the the hitch 4" for ramp clearance which reduces the tongue 1/3rd for a tongue weight to approx. 1320LB.I don't have a scale for trailer tongue weight. I would estimate from 8% to 13% of weight of trailer, 640LB to 1040LBs. Airbags would have a 5000LB rating. I'm still researching rear axle rating.
