Rear suspension

I have a 99 f250 superduty 4x2 x-cab long box, that I have pulled the box off of and put a custom utility box on increasing the load on the rear leaf springs by about 1,500+ lbs.

It looks to me like the rear sags a little now and I would like to raise it as well as beef it up for the extra weight.

What would be the best way to do this without stiffening the ride too much??

Does anyone know about this roadmaster active suspension??

Would it raise the rear end much??

Thanks
Randy

You might try rear suspension airbags (not to be confused with the SRS). I don't know much about them, but I've read a little about them on ford-diesel.com in the aftermarket section.

"Supplemental Restraint System" or airbags...the kind that pop out when you get in an accident.
