5th Wheel add to suspension?

[jeffsr1999]

I am towing a 2013 Eagle 351 with a 2011 F-250 Crew Cab 6.7 Powerstroke 4x4. In January Im taking the southern route from Vegas to Des Moines. While towing the 5th wheel this year it seemed the truck squated a little bit.
What do you recommend adding to the rear suspension for this long haul? I have seen the balloons? and heard talk of adding a leaf spring. Any advise is appreciated. Someday I will figure out how to update my signature....Thanks!

My truck(Chevy Z-71 K1500) had a 2" squat with the 5er hitched. I installed Firestone RideRite air ride. I towed it to test the set-up. I started at 20 PSI and worked my way up to 60 PSI. After this, the truck sat 1/2" higher at the rear with a level, loaded trailer.
The ride was better than it did without the air bags; and also rides better without the trailer attached(at 15 PSI).

On my 2003 GMC 3/4 I added "SuperSprings" to my rear leafs.These only kick-in as you add wieght and had 3 levels of adjustments.My new Dually just doesnt need any more help.

My truck was not squatting but felt a little spongy when towing. I added a set of Timbrens to the real wheels and they corrected my complaint. They are not in play when not towing.

Check your rear springs to make sure one has not broken.. it happens.. then if it is not I would add air bags.. been real happy with the ones I added this summer...
I got mine through Helwig ... added a rear anti sway bar at the same time...
