Suspension enhancement like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2525 would be a great choice for you. This will give you support for the rear suspension of your vehicle so that it feels less spongey with and without a trailer. Since the air pressure is adjustable you would be able to adjust the amount of support you need by inflating or deflating the bags when needed.

To make that easier you could get a compressor kit like part # F2158.

I attached install videos for both products I mentioned.
