Power should be fantastic, better than your 8.1L/4-spd combo! Suspension will not be as great, so I'd stick to about 6k dry and learn how to adjust the WDH for 100% front axle weight restoration.

My brother had an older Expedition with air suspension and loved it for trailer towing. The air suspension can make setting up a weight distributing hitch a little trickier since the back axle is always going to end up at the same height regardless of tongue load. If you have air suspension you may want to put a pressure gage on the air bags to get a feel for how much weight you have added to the rear axle.
