I put the timbren helper springs on mine. They cost about $150 and they work great. You have two setups with the system and I have the stiffest. It makes my truck ride a little stiffer but not bad

I was told the Supersprings work very well and don't raise the rear end.

I pull 20ft goose with 4x4 newholland tractor and before it set my truck down quite a bit. With the timbren it doesnt go down much at all. They have a website check it out. I believe it did raise my truck a little. When I put them on I had the back end jacked up and when I let it down the rubber springs were setting on the axle

I went with Air bags as well.
With the 2.5" lift on the front and then add a trailer, I was blinding oncoming traffic and my lights were shining in the trees. I level it off with the air bags and I get a nice ride as well as better lighting.

If you look in the pack there are a couple spacers where extra leaf springs can be placed.
I am thinking about adding some more leaf springs my self.
