11' F250 Leveling Kit?

Hello all, I'm new to the forum and have a small issue with my truck. I have a 2011 F250 King Ranch, and everything so far has been great. The only thing that I have an issue with is when I hook up a trailer with any decent tongue weight the back sags big time. So I want to get the best quality leveling kit I can buy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray

A leveling kit is only going to exaggerate the sag you're already experiencing because you're leveling/raising the front to match the height of the rear. Sounds like you need air bags for the rear springs.

I'm sorry thats what I ment. Helper bags with a compressor kit. I thought it was called a leveling kit b/c it raises the back to be level again.

No worries. A leveling kit raises the front to match the height of the rear.

If you do a search for Firestone in the 6.7 forum, you'll get a ton of results, seems to be the bags to go with. Not sure if your is gas or diesel but the installation is very close to being the same. Part numbers below. Epic has a great install video down in the 6.7 forum as well. Not sure on the compressors, I haven't looked into it that much yet but there's alot of info on those in the same forum as well.

Gas (with factory 5er prep) - 2520
Gas (without factory 5er prep) - 2452
Diesel (with or without factory 5er prep) - 2535
