If you wanted to save weight in the back you could put a trailer brake axle. They are available in 1,350lb to 7,000+lb capacity.
The smallest capacity brake axles are only electric as far as I know. The 3,500lb axles and larger can be electric or hydraulic.
Only problem is I just don't think an electric trailer brake axle on a truck would pass a vehicle inspection.
