Update: so I loaded up this truck and was 250lb over payload. I set the airbags to 30 pounds and man this thing did its job. I took it easy on the highway setting my cruise at 60 mph. I averaged 10.5mpg towing my camper with all of my family in the truck. No issues with oil temp, coolant or trans. The Jeep engineers really know what they are doing. Happy after towing 160 miles.

If you do any off roading, I'd move that fill valve up next to the license plate.
Jeep Gladiator Fully loaded and just under Payload. 20220811_115833_HDR


100% agree. I just wanted to get it done. I left about 8 inches of extra tubing so I can move it in the future.
Yeah, a lot of jobs are like that. Just get 'er done.
I was concerned about salt, sand snow and ice and bumping them if I put them any place else and knowing me - it was do it now as it would never get done later. But that's me.

You may have already known or done this, but as long as the trailer isn't over-loaded, it's below it's own max weight and below the towing rate of the truck, if you have stuff in the truck that could move to the trailer, that can, maybe at times, offset heavy payload.
But sounds like no problem so no need to over-think it.
