So what is everyone running to add some additional carrying capacity to their Ex/Mounty's? I have an enclosed trailer that barely makes my F150 sag, but makes my mounty squat like crazy.

I wouldn't mind going with an AAL to get the rear raised up a bit under no load, since I want to get some bigger meats (and gears) under it anyway.
 






AAL and sensa-trac load adjusting shocks. may want to consider a weight distributing hitch.
 






what kind of tongue weight are you dealing with?

shocks alone won't help with sag unless they include helper springs. but they will help controlling the extra weight. to keep the tail end up you have several choices...

helper springs
air shocks
air bags
stiffer rear springs
weight distributing hitch

personally, i like air bags, but air shocks are easier to install.
 






Equal-i-zer WDH kit. How much tongue weight?
