A lot of dealers don't even have the 5th wheel gooseneck option installed when ordering even tho it's only $350 or so. So to have a $1,350 option installed on a truck is not too likely unless they are a larger dealer.
As far as having to add a few hundred pounds for the Alt ride to activate that is true but once you have done so it will stay in that mode with or without a load until you turn it off. Mine is on all the time.
The bags are made by Firestone. The bags and springs limit travel.
