03 Expedition suspension

I have a 03 Expedition with independant rear suspesion. I pull a 7000 lb. camper with it. It handles it great, however the rear end dips more then I like. I would like to put heavier suspension in the rear. I have not been able to locate anything for my vehicle. Anybody heard of anythig.

Thanks

Best bet would probably to get a good weight distributing hitch to help take some of the weight off the rear wheels.

I've not seen anything. You MAY be able to put air helper springs back there but I haven't looked enough to see if anything is available.

Umm, tell me about your weight distribution hitch. You may need to adjust it a bit. I run level.
