Question

glasfordbuehrer - The truck sags when pulling a trailer
And the "truck" is?

HINT/TIP: Put your vehicle information (year, model, cab, trim, engine, wheelbase, _x4 drive, etc.) in your signature -OR- provide it in your posting(s).

*Telepathic or Carnac we're not.

Also ... More information needed.

...and in other news...water is wet...

Sorry...couldn't resist.

A few different options...air bags, roadmaster active suspension, timbrens, add a leaf....

Mine sags when I put 1000 pounds behind the rear axle, then I put air in my bags and it comes right up.
Sound almost like you have too much trailer for the truck and/or you need a Weight Distributing Hitch. But instead of an add a leaf I would go with and air bags and get the ones you can run without air in them.
