heavy duty struts?

While youre at it get an axle flip kit and have new leaf spring mounts welded up by an exhaust shop. Be shure to verify the pinion angles.. if you have a turbo look into traction bars too.
If the back end still sags with the axle flipped and extra leafs you could always look into a body lift kit :lol:

linuxbox, since you've been a good sport so far I will actually try to answer to the best of my ability. Your thread was derailed because you didn't search and din't use your common sense.
Though a shock might help slightly the springs are going to help the most. If you actually ran a decent spring rate say 700/400 etc it would increase your towing capacity. Then make sure you have the correct tongue weight. Too little and your trailer is all over the road. Too much and your car is sitting on the axels.

Jackoff300zx has a point.
I have a 400lb trailer and very little tongue weight, less than 50lb. I ran on 550/325 Tein flex and there was no problem with the car on that pull but it bounced a little. Now I have AST w/ 700/400 and it's noticably better with zero bouncing, lol. AST is not only the leader in racing dampers, but an excellent trucker damper if you're haulin a load and need to run from the cops considering I've had the trailer at around 110mph and it pulls fine at these speeds.
