Default Beefier rear.

Bet I got your attention.
What I'm trying to do is beef up the rear suspension.

I've been towing my work trailer more and more now that warm weather is kickin' in.

I want to take the sag out of the rear of the truck, when the trailer is hooked.

I'm thinking Helper springs, but I know I've seen other options. For the life of me I can't find them now. I've seen the extended bump stops. and Timbren makes a nice set of Aeon Hollow Rubber Springs.

Just looking for you insight on what has worked for you... Thanks in advance...

All depends on the money you wanna spend. Helper springs are the cheapest route but air bags are the nicest and the most expensive.
