Thanks to everyone who submitted help about my towing problem.
Checking around found that other trucks have tried various versions of air sway and trailer towing but not popular. I spent a couple of hours with a Dodge Service Manager of a very large Dealership in California and He could not find any info on the airbag suspension other than what is in the owners Manual.
He happened to be a long time Trailer Owner. He was using a Hensley Hitch so Apples and Oranges but a Very expensive Hitch. I will keep trying as like many interested Ram owners I really like the Truck and my 2012 GMC truck 1/2 ton pulled this Trailer just fine but was slow in the Hills.
I know a solution is possible but I would like it to be not too expensive. Another new Ram Bighorn is not cheap and I don't want to give all the Bells and whistles that this truck came with. I will test towing with my Sons 3/4 Dodge Tradesman and see how that does.
Thanks Again Bigbird65 and Birchy

If you love everything else, try disconnecting the air suspension and see if it tows better. You can put in regular coil springs and shocks:
I have a 2016 Ram with the exact same specs, but no air suspension. I tow a 26RBSS with zero issues. I’m using a equalizer hitch. I’m not going to be much help because I don’t know what to tell you. There’s a magic bullet for you somewhere since I have close to the exact same scenario. Maybe your hitch, maybe the suspension. Process of elimination I suppose or more helpful comments from others. You’re more likely to get more responses on the Irvt forum. Good luck !
Have same trailer so my weights same as yours regardless of truck . I have 2500
Ram diesel w 1200/12000 equalizer hitch. I measured all with scales that trailer set up at level has a hitch height of 23”. Loaded 2 batteries up front, full lp tanks and typical load inside will require a weight distribution hitch with 1200 / 12000 hitch. You could get away with 1000 / 10,000 but would be on edge. You should follow instruction in ram manual starting around page 380. I see no reason truck should not trailer Ok if weight distribution is set up correctly.
