on my 2006, I ran energy suspension blocks on the spring perches. Below picture is after 9 years and maybe 60K miles. I think the energy suspension blocks cost $50.0o for 2 pair. Direct bolt on solution. The torklift upper stable loads are like what I am showing below, only they are solid so they might work better.
On my 2006 the most I ever loaded was 3500 lbs, and they would look pretty squished but they did the job for me.
I second this mod over air bags. It increases roll-resistance much more than a set of bags, even independently plumbed.
A stock post-14 3500 DRW should handle 5000 lbs and sit level. In the heaviest configuration, Cummins HO and 4x4, it can still haul 5680 lbs. OEMs always design the suspension to be perfectly level at max GVW. Most of us are so used to seeing the rake of an empty truck, our brains correlate a perfectly level truck to "sagging".
FYI, the 6.4 hemi DRW crew cab can haul up to 6670 lbs!
