Suspension Enhancement Solution for a Truck that will See A Wide Variety of Trailer Weights

Question

Question:

Im looking at getting a wight distribution system. The problem is I haul two different trailers that weigh varying amounts all the time with a 2007 Toyota Tundra. The first trailer is a two horse slant load. The wight on it varies depending on whether Im hauling one or two horses. The second trailer I haul is a 16foot flatbed trailer on which sometimes I haul hay and other times a large utility tractor and accessories. The weights roughly vary between between 6K and 10K. Of course the trailers are also pulled empty and those weights vary between 2K and 3.5K. Any help you can provide will be appreciated. Thanks,

The best solution I can recommend for you would be a suspension enhancement setup for your 2007 Toyota Tundra. If you are constantly changing the weight of the trailer you tow you would not want to mess with adjusting a weight distribution system every time you tow a trailer. Setting up a WD system isn't hard but it's not something you would want to have to do every time you tow.

Instead an air suspension enhancement system like the Firestone System part # F2445 would be your best option. You will be able to easily adjust the air pressure of the system to fine tune it to whatever trailer you are towing.

You will want a compressor kit as well like part # F2158 to make the air pressure adjustments even easier.

The AL-KO trailer hub part number 8700 that you have is a 3,500 lb trailer hub/drum with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. Based on that the #AKHD-545-35-EZ-K is the correct fit and would work great.
