Is a bumper tow trailer out of the question? A 26-28 footer with load distributing hitch is doable.

How difficult would airbags be to install?
I only have the leveling kit because the parts came with my truck from the previous owner. They've been sitting in storage for over a year now. The only reason I even consider it is for when I'm on job sites. Kinda tough to maneuver when the front end wants to slam down into the dirt. Or the fu$&@!/ landscapers don't mark their trenches and your just 2" short on clearance so BAM nose in the mud. I really need to buy 2-3 different trucks for everything I do haha

So I've been looking around but cannot find the answer I'm looking for..
From everything i have found, my truck (04 F150 supercab 5.4V8) has a payload capacity of 1,700lbs. Is there any way i can increase this number by a couple hundred pounds? If so where should i look and how much of an increase can i get?
Please note I am looking to increase in-bed capacity for a slide in camper, NOT towing capacity.

Roadmaster is adjustable but you could run an overload spring or airbags as well.
