Im doing 2" Bilstein 5100 Leveling, what should I do with the rear?

Im doing 2" Bilstein 5100 Leveling, what should I do with the rear?
I've decided 100% with the Bilstein 5100 Leveling shock, but I feel like I still want to lift the rear at least 1". Heres some info, this truck is only street/highway use, NO OFF-ROAD and when I tow a trailer, its a 20ft flatbed with a car on it with a total weight of about 6k lbs including car and trailer, I do get a sag and when I put my 2" leveling, the sag will get worse, I tow about once or twice a month and when I do tow, its usually 500miles or so, I still would like to lift the rear about 1" with blocks but is there something else that will lift it/level it at least when im towing? Any ideas would be helpful, TIA

Just replacement shocks, they will not lift your rear at all. @ StPete, they do make a 5100 for the rear 2500 as thats exactly what I have. Try this site, its where I bought mine. Much better than the stock shocks.

Arctodus, thanks for the link but it's the front leveling shocks that's not recommended for the HD's. That's to bad too, would of been nice to level the truck with just adding shocks. I know the Ranchos have a similar shock but I believe the most it'll raise the front is 1.5". I'm looking for an even 2".
