Suspension Enhancement for 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 that Doesn't Ruin Ride Quality

Question

Question:

I have a 2023 Silverado 1500 2WD with the 3.0 duramax. I pull a 4900 lbs. travel trailer loaded weight and use a Blue Ox WDH. The truck handle the trailer well with the WDH but I experienced more rear end sag than I would have liked. I only pull the TT two or three times a year for a week or two at a time l. What can I add to minimize the squat without sacrificing the trucks non-towing ride comfort?
