Helper springs and shocks 04 3500 ?

I have 04 3500 4dr HO 6sd and pull a 3 horse with Living Quarters trailer that weighs in at about 13000#.On any road that is less than interstate smooth at 50 to 60 mph the truck starts to bounce on the helper springs.The only way to stop the bounce is to slow down,this is most annoying for passengers in the truck and sure can't be good for the horses in the trailer.The truck is a box stock dually,I have considered heaver shocks but can't find any,also considered removing the helper springs but the load is too heavy.Any ideas from the 5er's that have had this problem.
