A good set of springs and shocks make all the difference in the world. What you have to consider here is that when you are towing a trailer, much of it is transfered to the truck, IE the tounge weight. So the truck (or in this case burban) has a much greater force acting upon the springs, if you have a set of 40 year old wore out 1/2 ton springs, sure they are going to send you for a wild ride, especially if you have a heavy trailer.
