Yes, problem of getting stuck is with a bumper pull. 2013 Arctic Fox 25W.
Why 80 psi? Really no good reason. But psi is not 80 when I get stuck. PSI is between 65 and 75 when I get stuck. 80 psi is what I tow with in rear tires. I pull TT out from its parking spot and stop in front of garage and put on the weight bars then check and add air to tires and finish loading odds and ends. (And then usually hose off drive way to get rid of fresh muds tracks) Somewhere I have an inflation chart for these tires, I'll start using it.
Why installing air bags???...when hooked up to TT, the back end of pick up is about 2 or 3 inches lower. When I put the tail gate down it almost hits what this places calls " hitch lever".

Depending on the angle of the terrain where I park, I have to put the front leg of TT down and raise bed of pick up a little to prevent tail gate from hitting hitch lever. So my thinking was to get the rear end back to level using air bags. Which should do 2 things, save banging up tail gate in case I forget about "hitch lever" and get level. TT is taller than I would prefer and truck is lower than I would prefer.
Top of hitch ball is 29 inches from ground and truck is 2 wheel drive.
I'm normal weight for 6'2 tall and can barley get under truck to change oil.
