I would go with a set of Firestone Air Springs like the part # F2430 which has been confirmed as a fit for your 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 4WD. These will allow you to add support to your rear suspension when you are carrying a heavy load in the bed of your truck.

To make maintaining air pressure in the bas easy you would also want the compressor kit part # F2158.

You should note that this kit will not give you additional carrying capacity beyond what is listed in the owners manual of your truck. You will need to be sure not to exceed the weight capacity even with this kit.
