What to do about sag

I am using a highly modified 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 (factory Class IV 5000# hitch) as my tow rig for a 3124KB, and it drops the rear of my Jeep very badly, even with heavy duty off-road springs and shocks. The TM is dry.

What can I do to help lift the rear without sacrificing ride quality and without breaking the bank? I prefer to leave my shocks and springs as they are. Is there another way to cure this?

TIA!

search under weight distribution hitch or WDH. Lots of stuff there

A WDH is definitely the way to go.
First go to this thread and read the attachments to learn all about them:

Coyote, try this location as well for a good discussion on weight distribution hitches from RockyMt Ray.

Also, search up "CAT Scales" for a locator website that will show you where you can weigh each axle (front, rear, and trailer) as you tweak the weight distribution hitch configuration. Cost for weighing at the public scale was $8.50 in CA with $1.00 for re-weighs after making hitch adjustments.

Has anyone actually tried this thing?

Edit: Oh, never mind, I see it is a "temporary solution"

I know I'm throwing fat in the fire when I say you may want to consider installing air bags for the rear axle (search "air bags" to see previous somewhat heated discussions regarding their pros/cons)! They work fine for me with my 2001 Ford F-150 Lightning pickup and TM2720SL but that may be just because the pickup is relatively light in the rear to start with.

P.S. My old English 101 high school teacher would twirl in her grave if she saw that sentence structure!! ("Never use a preposition to end a sentance with!")

Just a provocative thought. I'll "standby for heavy rolls" as they used to say in the Navy.

WDH is the only way. Without it, I wouldn't even consider towing ours to the end of my road. My rear bumper would scrape pulling out of the driveway, but with my WDH, I am nice and level.
