    Well, first I'll say the Bilstein 5100 series are a great shock, you won't be disappointed. But a shock change does not require a front end alignment.
    Labour charge for installing the shocks seems pretty high to me....but...I do that stuff myself so it ALWAYS seems expensive to me. lol

    As to whether your trucks behavior is because of your shocks? I don't know . Don't have enough information. After your trailer is disconnected, drive your truck and see if it bounces too much. If it doesn't...maybe trailer loading is too blame. Maybe not enough tongue weight.

    Yes. Agree. Don’t really want to attempt this here in the campground. Next step is to get a competitive estimate.

    I agree that your tongue weight could be affecting your ride more than shocks. If you’re going to spend that kind of money, heck get airbags for the rear and then you wont have any problems at all.
