Having had both Timbrens and Airbags, I prefer the airbags for trailer towing. I had the Timbrens when I owned a large slide in truck camper that weighed 5k.

I only run about 30 psi to assist the springs slightly for the improved ride on some of our rough hiways. They only raise the truck about a half inch at this psi.
Another option is the TorkLift Stable Loads which allow your upper overload springs to engage earlier, which will prevent some of the sag in the trucks suspension. They can be cut to size so that the upper springs are not engaged empty so you keep your factory unloaded ride.
