    I have a 2020 TRD Off Road with a camper shell - all stock. It squats a little in the rear with just the camper. When I'm pulling my small boat or utility trailer it squats several inches. Both are about 2000lbs with less than 200lbs of tongue weight.

    What would you suggest to keep the ride closer to level or slightly raked under normal conditions and while pulling a load? I will keep stock tires and rims for now. I'm not looking for a lift but a small lift would be acceptable.

    Thanks ahead for any info.

    Check in the towing section. Welcome to the forum. There are lots of options. Maybe Sumo Springs for an easy cheap fix.

    Airbags are cheap and easy and a good solution.

    I’m happy with sumo springs 612-40s (50% @ 500lbs). With my cap and misc (250lbs or so) they are in contact with the frame but not too stiff and doesn’t squat when trailering. Seems to corner with less body roll too.

    Can recommend Eibach. Great price for its level of quality. I matched with some block in the rear to make up for leer cap.
