The problem with that statement is I have front and rear Air Ride. I'm not sure it has coil springs. I could be wrong because it is my first truck, so correct me if I'm wrong.
Correct - no coil springs. I also have the air ride. It will do a good job of leveling once the trailer is hooked up, however, it will not redistribute weight back to the front axle. For that you need to have a properly adjusted weight distribution hitch. Also, when you are hooking up and adjusting the hitch you need to have the suspension disabled by putting it in Tire Jack mode. Do that before you drop the coupler on the ball. Then adjust your hitch per the manufacturers instructions. Once that is complete you can remove the suspension from tire jack mode and if all is adjusted good there is little leveling the suspension will need to do.
I would certainly take a good look at your specific payload numbers as others have already suggested. I have the 5.7L Hemi w/Big Horn trim and my payload is only 1100lb - I'd be surprised if the ED is 1000lb at best.
I saw the Andersen mentioned earlier too. I have the Andersen hitch and it works well for me but my trailer is smaller and lighter - runs about 450lb tongue weight. I do think that if your tongue weight is about 750lb or greater it will likely have trouble returning enough weight back to the front axle. Also, I was never able to completely eliminate the bracket slip and ended up having to tack weld the brackets. It does pull nice and is very solid from a sway control perspective - and light weight at only 60lb total. But it may require some "commitment" (i.e. tack welds) that some folks are not willing to accept.
