Your TD has a self-levelling rear suspension, consisting of one hydraulic pump and reservoir hopefully under the hood, two rather expensive hydraulic shocks over the rear axle, and a pair of air/hydraulic spheres that compensate in such as way that the rear end is supposed to remain level, regardless of the load, up to the max load printed on the rear gate threshhold.
Do a search on 300TD rear hydraulic and you will find a trove of information.
You will need to replace some special hydraulic fluid at least.
The spheres cost about $79 each. The shocks are more expensive, as is the pump.
good luck, have fun
