Best Way to Prevent Rear End Sag While Towing with a 2012 Toyota Tundra
Question:
I have a 25ft travel trailer and get more sag than I like. I also have a weight distribution hitch. Hitch weight is 480lbs. Which rear axle weight helper would be the best for my application? Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
The best rear suspension enhancement system we have for your 2012 Toyota Tundra is a set of airbags like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2445. A set of airbags provide additional support for heavier trailers which will reduce sag and improve ride quality. They are also adjustable so you can always receive the perfect amount of support/comfort.
If you are looking for a more maintenance free option then the next best option we have for you is the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TTORTUN4. The Timbren springs will also do an excellent job of helping to distribute the added weight of your trailer and will not require continual adjustments but will affect the ride quality a bit while loaded.
It is also important to note that the weight distribution system needs to be properly rated and installed in order to render itself effective. I have attached an install video of the airbags on a similar 2013 Toyota Tundra for you as well.
