@Nick@GotExhaust is the go to for aftermarket parts. He can set you up with a set of rear springs that will handle additional weight

I'll do Icon 1.5 springs. You get 1 1/4 lift, you'll lose about 1/2 lift with about 400-500lbs. You'll loose 1" of lift with about 800-1000lbs, feels stock unloaded and will allow you to run up to 27.5 extended rear shocks.

There are a couple options out there. I do like the idea of the ICON coils. They ride really smooth. I prefer to go with a taller coil and let it sag a bit with a load rather than a stiffer one at stock height because the ride will start to suffer. The "tow" coils will start to make the truck ride like a 1 ton in the rear and you start to loose the smooth 1/2 ton ride.

Let me know if we can help, we can get you set up
