I recommend using the Sumo Springs Custom Solo Helper Springs # SSR-211-54, which are going to offer you progressive load bearing support for when you're towing your 5th wheel and won't affect your unloaded ride quality. These jounce style springs help fight sag, minimize sway and absorb road shock; so they're a great solution to improve your towing experience.

I've linked a short review video of these for you to check out.
