The pillar/door sticker on your tow vehicle will list your payload capacity. That number is the maximum weight the vehicle can carry and includes everything that was put in or added to the vehicle after it rolled off the assembly line - including the tongue weight on the trailer hitch.I didn't realize air springs and air bags were two different things, I only found out about them yesterday. We are under our vehicle's towing capacity by a comfortable margin, but it's also an older vehicle that we need to try to get a couple more years out of. The main concerns are to not ruin the suspension and to get the headlights pointed back down to the road.
Unfortunately, a quick search online shows that your 2011 Suburban has a towing capacity of ~5000 pounds, and a max payload capacity of 1564 pounds. The 2023 Jayco Flight 247RBS has an unloaded (dry) weight of 5340, and a GVWR (max weight, including all your stuff) of 6750.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your Suburban is way overloaded, both in cargo capacity and towing capacity. There is nothing you are going to be able to do to fix the problem other than get a beefier tow vehicle.
Sorry...
