Adding Airbags and Hellwig Sway Bar

I ordered an Airlift 5000 kit with the internal jounce bumpers and a Hellwig Big Wig rear sway bar for my 2020 2500. Even though I'm within safe working weights I don't like the way the coil spring suspension rocks with a camper on. (I know, I was warned that would be the case) I fully recognize the bags don't actually change load ratings. Anyway from everything I've been able to find the bags and sway bar are expected to improve things. Both look like a pretty straight forward install, but I'm curious if anyone has advice or observations concerning these changes. The sway bar is adjustable with 3 different mounting holes you can choose for stiffness. The instructions say to start on the lightest setting and work up from there. I'm actually considering using the second and see if I want more or less. Just curious if anyone has done the same.
 
I've got the airbags but my OEM sway bar appears to be working just fine for me. If I did go to the Hellwig, I'd start out at the medium setting as well.
The airbags are reasonably straightforward and do make a huge difference in handling. I've got mine at zero psi right now and coming home from Lowe's with four 80 pound bags of Redi Mix over the axle the roll was quite apparent. When I've got air in the bags I am unaware of any roll at all.

Thanks, do you have a typical amount of air you prefer for hauling?
