Check the load rating of your tires if you're worried about that much squat.
I put the Torklift Stableloads on my 10,000 pound rated 2013 that has factory sway bars. Our Wolf Creek 850, me, the Little Woman, most of our camping gear, empty holding tanks and 2/3 a tank of gas was 10,200 pounds. The rear squats a little and I'm considering what the next Gee-Wiz suspension mod I should use that will reduce the squat. It's only gonna get heavier. Starting with the Stableloads seems reasonable, because they're effective, cheap and can be utilized with additional mods. With my very limited experience (about 4,200 miles), I'd say I'm glad I have them, but I want more. The potential failure of an airbag tends to make me think SuperSprings. Maybe, you can skip the Stableloads and go straight to the SuperSprings. I don't know. Just thinking out loud.
You can also install Timbren SES's instead of airbags at a fraction of the cost. Like stable loads, efficient and inexpensive.
