Does anyone here use air assist springs for their tow rig? I have a R10 Burb towing a 32'+ travel trailer and it is sagging in the back, even with a weight distribution hitch. I've gotten all the adjustment I can get out of the hitch and while its far from bottoming out, it still isnt level. Thanks guys.
 
Go with some rancho helper springs ( the heaviest capacity they have) and some monroe coil-over load adjusting sensa-trac shocks in the rear. I have these and though it is stiff, it rides great with weight on it and sags less than 2 inches when I am towing 6500 lbs of boat. I'm sure it would hold up in your case easily.
 
I have the firestone bags on my truck. With the onboard compressor they work real slick.
