I have not had that problem with my 2017 F350 and I have Torklift upper Stableloads in addition to Airlift 5000 Ultimate air bags.
I am wondering if it is a Dodge Ram issue as I have not heard of this before with the Super Duty's? My camper weighs 3600-3800 lbs fully wet For my camper, that means putting about 35 lbs of air in the bags.
The only issue with the Ram is how the OP is handling it. And maybe the bags are bottoming out before the springs are.

$20 says if he slapped a set of wedges in the lower springs or lowered the upper overload pads (upper stable loads or other means), it would add just enough to keep from bottoming out.
The add on things are all band-aids (save for sway bars). My truck is full of them because the OE springs can't handle the weight I'm putting on them. If they could (in the OP's case) then minimizing the bolt on **** is the best method.
