For sure there is nothing that will be "plug and play". Anything you install will need some engineering.

Right off the bat, I am contemplating those gas charged pistons that are used to help raise the rear hatches on SUVs. If you were to procure a couple of those, attached one on each side of frame and to the body itself, might that help? You would have to reinforce the body where the piston attaches for sure. It would also take some trial and error to figure out exactly where the mounting spots should be. That said, in theory it they would have to help lift the body.
