Welcome aboard! Seems like the first thing to consider is whether or not the 1500 is the right truck for the load you're carrying. Take a look at the sticker inside the driver door to see what it says about cargo and "not to exceed". That's your max payload capacity and the number that matters. If I'm looking at the right trailer then your GVWR is 8200 lbs. 15% of that is about 1200 lbs. That's your calculated loaded pin weight. Add hitch, people, other gear and see if that weight exceeds what your sticker says.
As to the Air Lift bags, I have them and I think they're great. They can provide some lift but for me they help to smooth out the ride while under load. However, they do not increase your payload. For me they are a great add on.
