Rancho 9000 shocks(set to one) and 35 pounds of air in the rear tires empty will greatly improve things.
Interesting thought , yet I wonder how that would effect my tire wear?
4 LT235/85R16E has a dually axle rating(4 tires) of 6340 pounds at 35 pound inflation for the tires. If you have a smaller size tire, they are in the table linked below.
And at 65 pounds inflation the axle is good for 9524 pounds. No need to ever inflate the tires to 80 pounds. For a bumper pull trailer there would never be a need to inflate the tires above the 35 pounds, as at 35 pounds inflation you have over 3,000 carrying capacity available on the rear axle.w
On my old 2001.5 SRW the ride difference between the Ranchos turned up and 80 pounds inflation in the LT265/75R16Es and 40 pounds and Ranchos on one was very noticeable.
