Air Ride Suspension System for 2011 Toyota Tundra with a 6 inch Lift

Question:

I have a 2011 Toyota tundra crewmax with a 6 inch lift. Looking to add some needed support when pulling my 33ft travel trailer via possibly the ride rite air system. just not sure what all i would need to complete the setup.

As long as you don't have a 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch installed, then we have a Firestone Ride-Rite kit that will work for you. I recommend installing the Ride-Rite Kit, # F2445, because you can use the Ride-Rite Lift Spacers for a 6 inch Lift, # F2375. These two parts will accommodate the 6 inch lift on your truck.

The Ride-Ride kit will not fit if you have a 5th wheel hitch or gooseneck hitch installed in the bed. I'm not sure what type of lift you have, but if your truck is still using the factory leaf springs, then I recommend adding the RoadActive Suspension Kit, # RAS4611TD. This kit mounts on the leaf spring stack, so it will not interfere with a 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch and it can be adjusted for lighter or heavier loads such as towing or daily driving. These are our best options for trucks with a 6 inch lift if they have a 5th wheel or goosneck hitch installed.

How do I decide if I should get standard duty or heavy duty Roadmaster active Suspension? I have a 2016 Tundra crewmax with a level kit.

It really just depends on your application - the difference between the two kits is the weight capacity they offer. If you tow somewhat regularly or often have a bed loaded with cargo, I'd go with the Heavy Duty # RAS34FR, which features a 3,000 pound weight capacity.
