Expert Reply:

The SuperSprings # SSA13 helper springs you mentioned would be an excellent choice. The helper springs feature rollers that bring the helper springs into play when the OEM suspension compresses from the pin weight of the fifth wheel, preventing squat and helping to prevent the suspension from bottoming out. When you're not towing, the suspension automatically goes back to normal.

Installation is simple. The helper springs install above your existing leaf springs, with no drilling required.
