I use a helper spring and it gets rid of the sag when I pull a trailer BUT it does make the ride harsher. I've been thinking about trying an airbag system myself.

Go with the air bags. The ride is alot nicer and very easy to install.

I use a roadmaster active suspension system. When unloaded you don't know it's there, but it adds about 2K of capacity to you vehicle. Check in an RV magazine for a listing and their website. I have had it for about 2 yrs now, kind of PITA to install, but not too bad. Not sure if they have any installers in Wyo., but depending on how far you are from Colo., I know there are a couple of installers here.

Monroe shocks makes a heavy duty shock with a coil spring on the outside of it for the rear of these dakotas. I can load my 4 wheeler up in it and it rides like a dream with little to no sag. They also make what they call "Timberen" which goes on top of the rear axle to stop the bead from going below a certain point. They install where the rubber stops are on the axle.
