I've read some of the threads on installing a towing hitch but have not seen much addressing which type of rear springs and shocks are best for towing. I have replaced the stock automatic leveling Nivomat shocks and springs and now have normal springs and shocks. This was done because the previous owner had replaced the Nivomats with cheap shocks and springs. I've gone about 75K miles on the newer shocks and they seem ok. They are not sagging. I've got a small utility trailer, 5x8, that I plan on pulling. Using the trailer as my pickup bed so to speak. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
