First things first how much does the trailer and the load weigh?
next how much toung weight is thier (ie.4500=450lbs=10to15%toung)
next find the tag on the door are you exceeding any of the weights listed
now if y our exceeding the rear axle you can look in to a weight distubtion system .

Thanks for the reply

I'm familiar with weight distribution hitches. We use one on our camper. But I also pull my rockcrawler on a 16ft trailer and the truck sits pretty level but it would be nice if I could give my lowered springs a little help while towing. That is why I want to add some air bags inside my coils so I can add air only while towing. It would be nice if I could set it up to pump the bags up automatically rather than running a line out the back of the truck.
