Starting with the backup camera, I highly recommend the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System # RVS-776614-213. This particular system includes two different cameras, one for the rear of your truck and one with infrared for the rear of your trailer. The 7 inch TFT digital LCD color monitor will give you a clear picture of what is behind you so you can easily avoid stumps and other obstacles when going in reverse. Its simple wiring connections with the quick connect/disconnect kit will allow for easy installation and removal.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this system, along with the instructions manual that you can also take a look at.
Then, for rear suspension enhancement, I recommend looking at the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL88299. These air springs feature internal bumpers and have a 5,000 pound load capacity. They can be adjusted independently for side-to-side leveling and will do a great job of reducing the strain on your rear suspension and leveling the truck when hauling heavy equipment.
For a compressor system that will work great, I recommend the Air Lift Load COntroller # AL25856. This system features a heavy-duty compressor and will let you monitor and adjust 2 air springs independently with its dual-path, in-cab controller.
I have attached the installation instructions on this compressor that you can also check out.
