Question Suspension Question

I have an 06 2500 QC Shortbed, as my sig says, I believe as far as 5th wheel towing max pin weight on stock setup is about 1800lbs. I was looking to pull a little heavier camper w/about 2100-2200lb pin weight. Any suggestions on what to do with the suspension?? Thanks for any help you can give me.

E-range tires and a set of airbags is a good start.

i have 2160 pounds hitch weight and have towed a few thousand miles that way. i had the airlift air bags and took them off. it looks like the brackets that mount the bags to the axle take away 2 inches of suspension travel. the suspension travel is very important because i go out to the desert alot for racing. before i leveled my truck it would sit level with the fifth hooked up. now it sits about 1-1 1/2 inches lower in the back. and rides great...
