    Is there anything I can do to stop the sag I get when towing? Leaf springs or something? Also to help with handling?

    Airlift or Firestone air bags, easy installations, and options for on-board air to adjust pressure.

    I have Firestone bags. Love them for towing the camper, hauling the 4wheeler in the bed, and unloaded rode.

    Assume you are referring to rear end sag.

    If not already installed, a Weight Distribution Hitch is a must for that kind of weight. If one is installed, it needs to be properly adjusted to equalize the weight so your truck remains level (but will have sag at all four wheels). Easiest way to adjust is to measure distance to the top of all four wheel wells unhitched and then after hitched and weight distribution bars have been set. All four wheels should have the same drop, adjust until they do.

    Air bags are not a replacement for a properly adjusted weight distribution hitch.
