I think both systems will handle well but why would the RAS handle better? They both do the same thing just using different methods.

I want to install a set of Airlift 5000 ultimate bags to fix squat. Once installed, what do I need to do to my hitch setup? Assuming I just air up the bags the hitch will no longer provide the same sway control under its current setup.

Other than the squat the truck is great with the camper.
Some trial and error may be needed.

Initially just guess how much air you need in the bags and fill them up with that.

Then follow Equal-I-Zer's instructions. They are pretty good I found. You can get the manuals here: http://www.equalizerhitch.com/Equal-...structions.php

Then check your squat. If ok you're done.
If not, you need to start all over with a different air pressure in the bags.

I never heard of it until I came here and read about it. LOL, I towed 5-10,000 pounds up and down the East coast for ten without an issue but I kept my tongue weight to 500 pounds.
