Ride concerns

I am wanting my tow rig to ride smoother than it does without giving up load carrying capacity. If i where to put in an air ride setup does the front affect ride more than the rear if i was to only modify one end at a time?

For me the front makes the most difference. My 5th wheel puts about 1800lbs on the rear and really makes it ride nice. For the front I dont see how the Kelderman set up can make much of a difference, i would rather do a RSK then that. Or do what im doing and convert the front to a 05 radius arm with airsprings and Bilstein 5150 shocks.

many different ways to do a RSK. If you copy the way ford did it in the superduty im pretty sure the truck sits level. That is if the rear springs havent sagged.
