Do you think adding air bags would increase my capacity?
The axle ratings on a single rear wheel are not as high as a dual rear wheel axle. More tires, more capacity. What you didn't do was unhook your trailer and weigh the truck again. So you don't know what your tongue weight is. Therefore you don't know what it needs for adjustment. I wouldn't be worried if I were you as long as you are not over your RGAWR. But if you put more horses in the trailer you'll be even more overweight. I wouldn't want to go over the tire or axle ratings.
