Seriously get a truck!
If you must, need to add a leaf or two to the rear leaf packs, its going to ride like a truck when you do.
Might be able to go with air-shocks and just add 90PSI to them so you can just let the air out when your not needing the extra load capacity.
Also adjust the load on the trailer, lighten the tongue weight an let the trailer do the work it was built for.

Like he said get a truck! lol.
On a side note, I was driving down highway 26 coming home one morning and saw a lifted cherokee about 4.5 inch lift, towing a HUGE toy hauler, had to of been 30 ft. On top of all this he was headed toward sylvan hill......

I put on my 97 to haul a boat and they did a decent job compensating for the load with my stock leaf springs needing some attention. They are (for me at least) a band-aid till I can put a bastard pack in.
Seriously though, if you are going to be hauling heavy loads with any frequency either completely beef up the rear suspension or get a heavier vehicle.

Springs on my 90 are just old and flat, like they should be at 20! (OK and abused). I'm sure a new set would have set me straight, but I just stuck in some air-shocks. Works out, but if I'd had the time and $, new springs would have been a better answer.
