You can run air bags up to 100 psi, I personally wouldn't go over 80 but you may have to..... try it and see. The helper springs, given you get Helwig or another premium spring will make your truck ride like chit when unloaded but if that's all you can do to level it out then i guess that's all you have left. I would def. try 80/90 psi first though.

In my 99 I had air bags and loved them. Towing 30' TH loaded and a RZRs in the bed, I ran about 80 psi and all felt stable and good. Are your air bags individually controlled or tied together? If they are not covering it I would say you need a different tow vehicle,
Edit: this is with 5" ride rites, air rites iirc are a smaller diameter bag. May start there
