F350 with no overload springs

How costly it is to install overload springs?
I'm driving it right now with my camper as is (no overload springs), but with airbags. Should I install overload springs ASAP?

The towing package for my 1999 F250 came with overloads and both front and rear sway bars. The towing package contained all sorts of goodies to make life easier when towing. Like you I towed a 5th wheel and am down sizing to a TC. I've put the Torklift stable load quick disconnects on the truck. From what I have read on the Torklift site, they recommend the quick disconnect on the lower overload spring over using the rubber bumpers on the top over load springs. They only real issue with them is on certain trucks you have to drill the overload spring to mount them. The hitch shop installing the quick disconnects had all sorts of fun trying to figure out how to do the drilling on the 1999 F250. Later models have the holes already drilled. I'm having timbrens installed instead of air bags.
