Air Bags

Hey guys I have a 2004 6.0 short bed extended cab and a 2006 fifth wheel. I have been towing it for about ten years with no problem but have noticed the back drops about 1.5 to 2 inches when lowering trailer onto hitch. My hitch weight is 1360. Do you think I need air bags for a hitch this light? I am asking as I retire next month and we will be on the road for months at a time instead of a week or so. Thanks for your help.

10 years of towing.. New rear springs are needed.... not made to last the life of a truck.

all leaf springs un-arch.. over time and use. just getting tired/weak.
