Welcome aboard!
At the risk of being called the "weight police", but feel like it should be pointed out.
That's a 41.5' 5th wheel with a GVWR of 16945lbs which equates to 3800+/- lbs in pin weight (23% average of the posted GVWR) + weight of the hitch + whatever/whoever is in that 3/4 ton truck. Most 3/4 tons will have a payload in the neighborhood of 2500+/- lbs. You may want to check the yellow/white tag on your driver's door jamb that states "occupants and cargo must not exceed XXXXlbs", that's your payload for that truck. I'm guessing you're 1000+/-lbs over that posted payload & over the rear axle limit as well.
Yes! That truck will "tow/pull" it all day long & not break a sweat, but can it safely "carry" that much weight within the posted limits of that truck. FYI, adding air bags nor any other add-on will increase the payload of any truck, but rather the weight of those add-ons only further reduce the available payload.
Not trying to rain on your parade, just concerned for the safety of you & yours as well as the rest of us on the highways next to you!
Good luck, safe travels!

Was wondering if someone jump in. Not a good match here.
