At the front wheels installing Rancho XL or other adjustable shocks will help to tune the suspension for any porpoising with the load on the rear axle. More load capacity at the front makes little sense as 85% or more of the weight of the 5th wheel will be supported by the rear wheels.
What can help with the ride is using a shock absorbing 5th wheel pin box like the ones from Trailair sold by etrailer and others. These will reduce road shock a great deal and also reduce chucking.
