Air bags/shocks and the anticipated ride.
I have a 2013 GMC Sierra 2500 HD diesel and a 35' 2016 Forest River Rockwood 5th wheel. I've been pulling 5th wheels since 2013 when I bought my new GMC. My ride is pretty good but do experience a lit...

I have the same truck (2012) and pull a 12k lb 5er. I put Bilstein 5100 shocks on it when new and just a couple years ago added Timbrens. It towed fine before the Timbrens but is even better now. I had air bags on an older truck and liked them but didnt want to deal with install/$$ this time and gave the Timbrens a try. Install is all of 10min and it in no way affects the ride when empty.
Do you recall the total price for the Bilstein and Timbrens? Just curious...ball park.
I'm still running stock shocks but I did install Timbrens on my Ram. I think they were about $180 shipped, and it was about a 10 minute job to install them. I think they work great. I can't really discern any difference in the unloaded ride, but when I load up the fifth wheel they engage and it feels more solid going down the highway but not harsh.
