You may want to look into rancho RS9000X shocks. They
will not level the load but you can adjust how much
you want the truck to bounce. I have them and love
them when I put my 800lb fourwheeler in the back. I
have the in cab adjusters and it work great, and the
truck feels like it is on rails (except for the fact
of the Goodyears) I brought a pair of those 550lb
helper springs that bolt on to the top of the leaves,
the work for the fourwheeler, so they may work with
the tounge weight you have. I brought them from
summit, for around $34.
