Help Me! My butt's saggin' and I'm all over the place!

Help Me! My butt's saggin' and I'm all over the place!
Hope someone can help with this one. I've got a 2007 Silverado Classic 1500 4wd. When I pull my trailer the rear sags down and the trailer is all over the place when I hit bumps. I had airbags in my previous truck but they made the ride totally harsh. My wife couldn't stand it. Any ideas?
Also, I heard of a unit called Roadmaster Active Suspension thats supposed to keep the rear end from drooping when the truck is weighted downand doesn'tmake the ride stiff. They say it even improves handling and ride even when not carrying a load. Anyone out there know of this? Sounds like it should fix my problem, but I'm not familiar with it.
Thanks.

how heavy is your trailor....Air bags DO NOT INCREASE GVW....they only level your truck out if your overweight then your everweight...that would be my guess..... is a ball hitch or goose neck, (5th wheel) hitch.....need some more info here.......

sea ray as in boat???.....that should not be that heavy.....is your truck a 4.8 or 5.3.....and what gearing is the rear end although the gear ratio would not make a diff on saggin and waggin all over the place......the air bag problem of rough ride was prolly becuse you did not air them down after you took the trailor off......if they are air downed it should ride like factory almost.....is it a Reg cab or EXT cab truck....
if it is a say reg cab short box with a V6, then your problem would make a little sense, but taht boat should only weight about 2800 lbs give or take....still need osme more info

Yeah it's a 1/2 ton but you should be able to add a leaf in the rear and tighten that up a bit.
It's not that much weight. No need for a 1 ton to haul that.
