towing with a 240 wagon

Meh..I just so happen to have an 89 245, thank you very much. When it still had the original, 114 hp tractor motor I pulled a 3000 lb trailer from Dallas TX to Minneapolis, MN. Absolutely no issues whatsoever and at 70mph too. And...that was w/ the AW70 automatic. Granted overdrive was pretty much out of the question but that's no issue. The real issue I see is wondering just how much tongue weight your trailer has that the rear end would sag? I can't see a 200lb tongue weight making an appreciable difference in ride height. Perhaps your original rear springs are simply worn out. Just my 2 cents but I'm not a big fan of air shocks. Typically they use a wimpy spring and then you adjust them accordingly. My concern is after a few years the air bag leaks and then you're riding around w/ the tail dragging. For less money, and no maintanence...I'd go with HD wagon springs. fcpgroton.com has them at a reasonable price.
