Sagging rear end
I pulled my first heavy load with my new to me 01 F250. I was pulling a 6000lb tractor on a 20' trailer. It pulled great, but the rear end sagged pretty bad. are there any add ons that can help?

That is a pretty light load, your tongue weight wasn't right.
Either way, there are bags you can buy in addition to helper springs. Proper tongue weight, no matter if it is 2K or 12K pounds is more important than a saggy back side.

Firestone airbags work well and are inexpensive.
You can change the ride height quite a bit whether empty or loaded.
Try to put the load farther back on the trailer. I see tons of guys loading trailers with everything in front of the axles. You need adequate tonque weight but not too much.
