Daystar cradle doesn't account for the lift, it allows the bag to not affect suspension travel as much.
Since you just have rear lift blocks, your spring to frame distance hasn't changed, correct?
You need, at a minimum, bags, sway bar and preferably lower stable loads (easy to make these as well).
Those 3 things together is about as good as you can do with stock springs. And it should be "ok" but not great, especially with the lift and big tires working against you.
I would be more inclined to add a very stout set of helper springs (and a sway bar) or a good set of HD lift springs. Both of which will help alot with the camper, but make it ride like a HD truck when empty.
I would only haul that camper on a 9.75" rear axle. If you have the little axle (8.8?), you don't got enough @ss for the checks you're trying to cash!
Im going on a pretty long trip, so maybe im better just swapping for some heavy duty springs. I'd be worried adding a leaf or one helper spring wouldn't do enough to eliminate the squat.
This looks like its a heavy duty spring pack and is just about the same price as the bags. https://www.sdtrucksprings.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=50496
