I would go with airbags, only inflate them when you need them. Doesn't affect your ride unless you fill the bags.

X2 on bags

X3 bags, with an on board compressor. I put them on anything I tow with or haul a load with. Nice to be able to load 300 2x4s or 40 sheets of drywall in my van and keep the same ride height, or hook up the trailer with the jeep and adjust the headlights with a touch of a button.

Another vote for the air bags. I've been running the Firestone bags on my F350 for 10 yrs now with cabover camper. Didn't install the onboard compressor and I regret it every time I load the camper. Keep telling myself someday I'll get around to it.

are you using a WD hitch?

are you using a WD hitch?

No just a standard

No just a standard

get a WD. Trust me.

not only will it help with the sag, but you'll move weight to the front axl and it will steer/brake better as well.

WD hitch is pretty much mandatory if I'm towing with a half-ton.

X2 wd hitch. All the difference in the world and no modification to suspension.

X3 on wd hitch.

I recently bought one and will never tow without one again. Not only does it even the load, but the extra controll you get is amazing.

I can tow with only one hand on the wheel now.
