    You need to remember that it is not necessarily the total load here, but where that load is placed.
    That hitch mounted carrier puts the load way back outside the suspension, so as well as the load, it has a multipierer effect as a lever arm.
    Get rid of the hitch mounted carrier and buy a trailer, and the problem goes away.
    Replace the OEM spring helpers, and the problem is reduced, but still not good.
    Upgrade the rear suspension to accept the load and it will be okay loaded, but crap unloaded.

    From my personal point of view it is an easy decision - buy a trailer.
    But I can back a trailer so it is no big deal - others might want to avoid that.

    For a little bit more, you can get something you can use for other purposes...
