My tow vehicle is a 2011 Ram 2500 CC LB 4x4 diesel. I installed Firestone Ride-Rite airbags when the truck was new. Not real expensive, easy to install, and made a HUGE difference in towing!
This past October we traded/down-sized from our 2015 Cougar High Country 333MKS to a 2021 Cougar Half-Ton 29RKS. Realized after the first tow/trip we needed better suspension for survival of the rear kitchen setup (broken wine glasses, lots of items shifting, etc.). I installed the Roadmaster Dual Axle Shock Kit from e-Trailers. With a bit of help from my brother-in-law, we installed the kit in about 6-7 hours. The first trip after installing the shock kit was 110% better than that first towing experience of the new -29RKS! I am now a true believer that ALL RVs should come with factory installed shocks. It made that big of a difference for us and I've owned/pulled 3 other RVs over the past 20 years.
So for me, the Ride Rite airbags and the Roadmaster Shock Kit have made towing 5th wheel RVs a smooth ride for the Ram and the Cougar-29RKS. No chucking-n-bucking, and zero swaying make for a very relaxing tow. Wish I had known this 20 years ago with my first RV (Weekend Warrior 25' toyhauler TT).
Safe travels!
