Truck rear springs allow bottom out on overload continously every bump? Doesnt seem to match 1/2 ton loading this is a very small 21'trailer. Fixes?

What model truck? Are you using a load leveling hitch? If not, you should be.

A weight distribution hitch will make a big difference. Also - what do you have in the truck, back seat and in the bed?

You can definitely tow/haul within the payload numbers without bottoming out all the time. My guess is you are over them.

Without more specific information it's hard to say for sure but I can't imagine any 21' TT overloading a 1500 unless you have alot more weight in the bed

It appears that you are attempting to haul this travel trailer with a standard receiver hitch instead of using a weight distribution hitch. I don't care what truck you are using to haul a travel trailer or any bumper pull type hitch; if you do not have the proper hitch and weight distribution the truck will not be allowed to do its job without the suspension being bottom'd out constantly.
If you have a weight distribution hitch and have it setup properly the rear suspension on your truck wouldn't bottom out unless you loaded the bed to the max. This is just my opinion from previous experience. YMMV.
