I have a 02 tahoe that has the 5.3 and had the autoride system on the rear but the compressor went so I just installed some load leveler shocks since I tow a good bit. My concerns are that I just hauled a 2400LBS tractor and double axle trailer that weighs around 1500lbs. The hoe sat real low in the rear and it concerns me cause I have a jeep that I will be towing to trails and it weighs 4500lbs plus the trailer weight. What can be done to help with towing capacity like z71 springs and/or lift? I just would like it to sit more level. Thanks for the input.

Probably might want to look at load distribution bars for your trailer, the same setup that people use on toyhaulers and travel trailers! Also a stiffer spring will help out alot too!
