I had a difficult time finding complete list of specs for your truck but after nearly a year of poking around in my own search, I would say the rig is overloaded. If what I have seen is right, the curb weight of that truck is 5,741#. With a pin weight of the 3811MS of 2,705 as a starting point, that makes 8,446# before adding hitch, fuel, passengers, or a few sticks of fire wood. That's close to 1,300# overweight with pin only (max cargo 7,153#). Air bags will soften the ride but not increase max cargo (what the axles and bearings can carry. For pins near 3,000 or over, the territory becomes dully.
