Default Question about towing with a 2/3 drop?

I just got a 2002 Dakota Quad cab 2wd 4.7 , the guy hadI got it from said it was lowered when he bought it.from what it looks like a 2/3 drop. rear springs are different than stock and hangers are the same. front coils look changed also.he said it was a 2/3 drop, anyways. i have a car that gets towed and i was thinking of adding air bags in the rear only to help pick the rear up level when the trailor is attached. Does anyone know a system that can be used for this? i was thinking of just raising the truck back to stock but I just dont' feel like hunting stock Coils/rear springs down and i like the way to truck looks lowered.

what do you think?

thanks,
Brent
