Go get yourself a $50 set of TIMBRENS.
Your back end will never sag again.
Just make sure your tires can handle the wieght.
These were one of the best 'performance enhancements' (unseen) I made to my truck.

my buddy has those on his Excurtion they are pretty bad *** i think my BFG A/T 265/75R16's are E or D range im not sure. but had them at max 65PSI when i had this load.

Also ive been looking into Air shocks to help with some of this. i know some of you say shocks dont help but my buddy had air shocks and put them all the way up and it helped out alot.

Nhford thanks for the info and not flamin me like everyone else.

Yeah they would im thinking about lowering my truck thoe.

i was thinking of some really good bump stops i forget the name of them thoe. my buddy had them on his truck and it never saged even when overloaded.

maybe a 7700 leaf under the axle it would lower it and have more leaf

My truck is my friend. I take her everywhere, and I thank her for coming with me by taking a care of her and not abusing her. Because of this I have a consistent, reliable truck that won't hurt me, or anyone else in or outside of her.

When your stuck on the side of the road or even worse, you've hurt someone think about how easily that could have been avoided.

Your truck may be "Built Ford Tough", but everything has it's limitations.
why do you even own a truck!!!!!!!!!!! if you get upset if someone jumps around in your bed(that"s pathetic) then you should have a cadillac!!
