Mushroom vent covers

As BB_ TX states you can purchase and screw the cover onto the existing stud. These plastic covers will dissinagrate over time. Do not need to change out the whole vent.

My air lifts say keep minimum 10#. I have a 3400rl, I fill to 20# and when hitched up the pressure increases to 40# and this amount levels the truck and 5er. So put as much air in so both are level.

Purchase the truck that fits you liking. All diesels probably get the same mpg when towing. The faster you go, your diesel consumption will increase. 55 is the ideal speed.

In my opinion that is a lot of weight to be towing and putting stress on the frame of the 5er. Being that your out of the warranty period you can do what ever you want.

Definitely install air bags, either Air Lift or Firestone. Rig should be level when hitched to truck. Install a compressor for a few extra $$. You will definitely notice the difference.
