Not familiar with the 5210 (21') but I have a 5290 (29')on a Ford E450. Put on Air Bag Load Lifter 5000 bags. the air line and Bilstein shock plastic protector melted first time out.The hitch still would drag. I would go with the springs. I went to Tractor Supply and bought 2 of the heaviest 4" steel casters and installed them on the receiver. The BT still drags but the wheels help on hard surfaces but gouges the grass. Don't know if the springs would help (my local spring alignment shop said it would} but air bags didn't solve my problem.
