I have a 2025 bighorn 1500, 3.92 gears ,long bed ,four-wheel-drive. i’m towing a 29 foot travel trailer using a way safe middleweight hitch and air bags. The trailer weighs 6920 (loaded, ) pounds. I have 860 pound tongue weight which is 12.5% per the Cat scale. I am within my limits but looking for mods that will make towing more pleasurable.

You should be well within your limits with the gear package and setup. It sounds like you have it covered.
What mirror set up do you have? Maybe a trailer mounted reverse camera if you plan to travel a lot with it.
Make sure you swap out tires every 5-6 years no matter the miles. I have seen a lot of people who decide to take a highway trip and tires looks good but are old. They heat up and blow out. I have done it myself. From experience get you a larger jack or bottle jack for the camper that can lift the axle up.

Even if your rear axle load is fine, XL or higher rated tires aired up to around 50PSI will help stability and made towing less tiresome.

I highly recommend the rear observation camera as mentioned above. It's another tool to help combat the fools on the road...
