leveling the truck

I have added the leveling kit that lifts the front about 2". When I hook the enclosed trailer and car up the rear end of the truck it sags about 2 or so inches. What is the best way to level the truck with the trailer hooked up ?
air shocks, air bags, or springs ?
Guess I would like the best of both worlds, level with and without the trailer

thanks

i would say some air bags that you can leave deflated/low PSI when normal driving, but you can pump up when towing.

Yea I would probably be looking at an air bag set up too - I would think that would be about the best option.
