don't mess with the leaf springs, until you have messed with the tires...removing leaves is a PIA (you will need new ubolts/centerpins) and doesn't do much for the bouncing unless you add shocks...

I have two 30' gooseneck flatbed trailers that are designed to haul 35k lbs., empty these trailers weigh around 7k and will absolutely rip the truck apart when hauled empty (imagine your trailer bouncing)....unless you lower the trailers tires from 110 to 20-25psi, then it rides smooth.
