Reducing Sag and Improving Ride Quality For a 2010 Hyundai Tucson Towing a Pop-Up Trailer
Question:
I really need something lik the Air Helpers for my rear coil springs on my 2010 Hyundai Tucson? Will the ones you sell for the Santa Fe work? To you have something else that will work as I haul a small pop-up in the summer and need a little extra support in the back.

I do have a possible solution for you but there are no suspension enhancement systems that are going to work. Instead, check your owners manual to determine if your 2010 Hyundai Tucson can be used with weight distribution.
Weight distribution is going to help level the vehicle, improve ride quality, and help with sway. You have to go by the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow, plus the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the vehicle. This is the total tongue weight.
Once you have calculated the total tongue weight, choose a system that has a tongue weight capacity range that places the total tongue weight in the middle. For example in the total tongue weight is 400 pounds, choose a system rated for 200 to 600 pounds like # RP65509. I have included a link to the installation instructions for this system. I have also included a link to our FAQ on weight distribution.
This system comes with everything needed except a ball. For a 2 inch diameter ball use # A-90. For a 2-5/16 inch diameter ball, use # 19286.
