Both the SumoSprings # CSS-1125R and Air Lift # AL60810 will help with the sag you are experiencing, however, I prefer the Air Lift # AL60810. This has to do with the adjustability of the air bags. These can be deflated to 5 psi, making them feel nearly, if not completely, non existent. This will keep the ride quality as close to stock as possible when not towing. They can then be ramped up to 35 psi, giving them very good support when you are towing.

Though the SumoSprings # CSS-1125R will not really affect the ride when not towing as it is only going to serve its purpose when starting to bottom out, for the lack of a better term, it is also not adjustable. That being said, it is a set it and forget it item and is very easy to install.
