^ Absolutely. Free advice is always worth what it cost you, sometimes more!
I do have trouble envisioning some "issues" like porpoising with a small trailer, esp with a wdh, but my calibration range for what is a "good towing experience" is much wider than most weekend warriors, because I tow alot of different things and if it don't sway on it's own or bury the back end of the truck, I call it a win! lol
What you're thinking about can help, imo, but you'll need to have the Sumos shimmed pretty tight so they engage quickly in the suspension travel. Light duty ones, I'd surmise should be set up to be just in contact at your static loaded ride height. Then they start doing their job immediately as the suspension compresses over bumps.
Gut feel is the lighter duty ones, installed to engage like I said above.
