Maybe try a set of these instead of your coil spacers on the rear?

More robust damping would be a good idea, yes. If the OME HD's are "too much", there may be heavier OEM alternatives:

Agreed. The OME HD coils are an excellent choice.

I just installed the OME HD coils and you won't be sorry. I hooked it up to my m416 trailer and it didn't sag at all. The ride is still great.
