If this is not the right place for this, maybe the moderators can move it.

My 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 with 5.3 is used to tow our 25' travel trailer. The truck has 105K on it. It does a pretty fair job, but it there is some tendency to bounce. What suspension upgrades are suggested to help with towing?

You can add helper bags to help support the rear and stiffen it up. You can install a better rear shock set also. There is helper laf spring dealio that you can put on your leaf spring all these items would help with towing

What exactly is bouncing, the suspension or the tires? How much does the trailer weigh? Cause it sounds like it may be too much weight for your truck. Like the trailer weight is overpowering your truck. Adding helper bags and things will reduce rear sag and make it easier to tow. But if the weight of the trailer is too much for your truck it can cause you to lose control of your truck and push you around the road.
