Do you think the Ford anti-sway system would be adequate with a standard hitch in place of the Hensley? They are not the only manufacturer using that type of system, I would think there is something to it.
I think the Ford anti-sway would be fine for anything but a Hensley or a pro-pride. As you get into the engineering of those two hitches, you will learn about the "Hensley bump". It's important to have the trailer brake prior or at lease the exact same time as the truck. If not you will get the bump. The Ford anti-sway uses the truck's brakes to stop the sway. I don't know if or how much it uses the trailer brakes. All I know is the hitch works great when not handicapped by the ford system.

Adding air bags, expensive shocks, an over-priced hitch and then limiting water and other weight, seems like a lot of trouble to avoid the proper 3/4 ton truck.

Don't consider 5K miles to be an adequate review of anything concerning longevity. report back in an additional 20K and let us know your impressions as well as what you've replaced, what broke and what you 'think' at that time.

Great write up. I tow very similarly, and have added a Hellwig sway bar to the rear, but no airbags (yet). I also have the same shock setup as you.
I feel the exact same problems with crosswind. Question: how to disable the factory anti sway?
Also, what capacity airbags? (2,000 or 5,000?)
