The bags are my best idea also. I'm only going to go with the 2" because everyone with the 2.5 looks nose up to me. I do tow sometimes and have done some research on the airbag options. Firestone is a bolt on, but more expensive then air-ride(drilling required). I figured to go with a single circuit firestone setup would run around 450 for the parts. There is also the roadmaster active suspension, but I'm not sure how much it would control spring sag to keep it level. The timbren SES will allow about 1" of sag before it comes into play, I have heard ride quality suffers when it does. So take them all for what they're worth. I kid myself saying I tow with mine, but it has only seen the trailer 2 times in just under a year. I'm going to try the 2" and see what happens with a load and take action from there.

I don't tow with mine like every day, but when I do its a trailer and off road truck that comes close to 5000lbs and I tow it far. I was thinking of doing bags eather way since I will be towing a good bit once the race car is done so maybe I will do those this summer, then level and new tires before next winter.
Heck, I wholesale tires to ford for a living and even at my cost the 285/75-17 BFG ATs I want are expensive.

I have the EZ Lift 2" leveling kit and it brought the front end up almost level.There is 3/4 inch difference between the bottom of the front and rear fender.When I tow a 19 ft boat it sits level.Overall I am very pleased with how easy this kit was to install and the ride.
