Air bags or "Bump Stop" type suspension
I'm towing a 2020 Grand Design, 10500# (when fully loaded) 30' fiver with a pin weight topping out around 1900#. The tow rig is a 2014 F250 6.7 diesel super cab with 6 3/4 bed. The truck squats just a...

At stock height, I never needed any kind of suspension aids to keep my 2014 2500 CTD from squatting. My 14k 5ver made it perfectly level.
After I leveled the front end, I still didn't need it for most of my trailers like my 6k cattle trailer, but the 5ver made it squat. I didn't want to go with Timbrens because they have made the rider harsher on past vehicles. I didn't want to go with air backs because I use this truck off road and I didn't want anything I had to maintain.
I went with Sumosprings Rebels "blue" kit with a 1 inch spacer. They are a two piece design that separate when my axle is articulated off road, and they make for a much softer rife than Timbrens. They actually made the ride softer than stock and the truck sits level again with my 5ver.
They make a "black" kit that has a higher load rating, but also is a much stiffer ride. In my opinion, they are not needed for most people here unless you have a trailer hooked up 24/7. This kit is equal to Timbrens in regards to stiffness.
Here is an article about them in Trailerlife.com.
