Default Looking to raise the back when towing.

I have an 02 QC 1500 4.7. I tow a small trailer with a quad and put another quad in the bed a couple time a year. It's not much weight but I want to keep the truck from squatting with the load. I've heard about helper springs and air bags. Whats the best way to go here?

+1 they work only when you need them to, and won't hurt your ride when you don't.

Yea that's what I was leaning towards.

Any preference on brand or are they all pretty much the same?

Do the air bags. I had AAL's on a truck once and when it was unloaded the back end bounced all over the place even over the smallest bump.
