The Prodigy seems to be favored. That's what I've been using for years. Should be plug and play install if you have the tow package.
I am thinking of using these Monroe Sensa-Trac load adjusting shocks. Add 1200 # which I think is enough to help.

To beef up the rear end, add a leaf spring is the way to go. It adds up the loading capacity into a certain weight. But it changes the factory ride, airbag is another option just to keep the truck level while towing. I'm thinking about going into airbag if I ever decide to do leveling kit down the road.

My truck currently has the leveling rear shackle kit on it(previous owner) The truck looks good empty but when you put a load in the back and/or hook up a trailer it squats too much. Does that change the towing ability I don't know but I don't like it. LOL
