you will not have any problems with the tow rig you talk about, just listen to the above about slow stops ect.
I still tow my 29 outlaw on a steel triple axle trailer[twin 454's] with my chevy 1500 ext cab 4x4 , the only problem is on steep boat ramps when you pull the boat out it will spin the back tires[ have to put it in 4 wheel drive] have fun with the new boat

Just be aware, a 29 full of gas and on the trailer will weigh around 9,000lbs. Mine crossed the scales earlier this year at 9,400 lbs full of fuel, trailer, and gear. Stopping distance is the key. Make sure your hitch is rated for somewhere close to that.

Default air bags

whee do you get airbags for rear end? how much are they? Is it similar to load leveling suspension?

I got rear air bags for my Tahoe from Summit. Makes a big difference. I pulled a Formula 311 which is bigger than a 29 Outlaw, you need to have good trailer brakes to assit in stopping. I also upgraded to tires with a load range D rating. The stiffer side walls eliminates the truck from swaying on the softer, better riding, stock tires.

new29ol,

have a friend that pulls his 33 ol to Poker Runs 3 hours away. He's never had a problem with his Expedition.
I have an F150 SC 5.4 pulling my 25 OL and the only thing I would like to change is the brakes as well.
Keep an eye out for the idiots.

I had a 97 Expo with load-leveling. Yes, it is the same as air bags. I only pulled a heavy trailer once (16 flat bed with wooden floor and a full-size sedan on it, all covered with 1/4" of ice from freezing rain. I have no idea how much that weighed, or where it was distributed, but it was a lot.)

The Expo "chine walked" the entire time. I now know the rear air bags shared their air, and when one side of the truck dipped, the air rushed to the other, then came rushing back, etc. Pulling the empty trailer the truck did great. Engine is fine. Brakes arn't bad. Wheel base is a little short.

Miss the expo. It was a snap to drive in the city and in parking garages.

Good luck
