Stargirl,
I am towing a 25FB with my 08 5.7L Tundra. My Airstream has a GVWR of 7300 so we are close. The 5.7 is a towing beast, you won't have any trouble getting it down the road and over the mountains. As someone has pointed out, the issue with ANY half ton truck will be your capacity. Get a good WD set up and pack light. Mine sits level and with only my wife and I we don't take much along. Typically we carry a generator, some wood and that is about all in the truck. The rest, including the bikes go on the back or inside the trailer.
I would give it a go before you look into adding extra springs and/or air bags.
