Or install air springs from the air suspension system and add a compressor. At least I hope, since I am going to try to do that.

I looked for "Bilstein 5100" but it doesn't show any for my 2021 Yukon Denali or a 21 TahoeI finally got my '21 Tahoe set up to tow out 5000# Apex Nano camper. This Tahoe doesn't have the factory air bags, it does have ZLG trailering package. The factory hitch is limited to 10% of the tow capacity (see the sticker on the hitch) so 790# tongue weight is all you get on that load point and I'm real close to optimal with the CAT scale weighed 5040# camper.
To fix the 2 1/2" sag, I removed the rear factory shocks and installed Bilstein 5100 and set them at .6" lift and then an alignment. I got rid of my Andersen WDH and replaced it with a True Tow Weigh Safe Standard (nice discount for that at You Tube's Wandering Weekends). After setting the hitch system according the instructions on the App, I was able to distribute 100# to the steer axel and 140# to the camper's. The rig now tows without sag. An amazing improvement in handling characteristics; no cross wind affects and minimal suck/push from semis.
You wont be able to tow a Grand Design bc of the 1000# tongue weight.
