Firestone Ride-Rite Air Assist Kit. I love these things!

I tow a 20' 5500lbs (wet) Jayco behind my F150 and my wife has to tell me that I don't have to pass every Dodge I see. Practice backing up in a parking lot and play with your brake controller til you have it dialed in (mine has a sensitivity and sync). Make sure you have your WD hitch installed correctly (ie the chains line up straight with the hook on the trailer), and make sure you understand how to connect them (ie raising your jack with your truck attached).Your truck will do it's part, do your part and have fun.

That's all I can think of.

Were those mirrors hard to install? Where did you get them and the air-bags?

i didnt see this in the posts. if your trailer starts swaying from side to side from wind,semi passing? hit your trailer brake slider not your foot brake but the handle on the brake controller for a couple of seconds, should straighten you right out. can get scary in a hurry. if you dont have your contoller in a convenient place, move it . god luck and have fun.
