Air Lift Control Air Helper Springs for Towing Camper with 2016 Toyota Tacoma

Question

Question:

Hello, I have a 2016 Tacoma. I will be pulling a 16 foot camper with a weight of around 2500 pounds. Is the 2000 pound air lift system enough for my Tacoma to haul the camper? I can send a picture of the camper if that would help.

The AirLift # AL59561 Ride Control Air Helper Springs for 4WD or # AL59564 for 2WD vehicles would be a fine choice for eliminating any sag that might occur in the rear of your Tacoma because of the trailer's tongue weight being applied to the rear bumper. A trailer's tongue weight is typically between 10 and 15 % of the trailer's loaded weight, so you're only looking at 250-375 lbs of tongue weight, so the 2000 lbs of load leveling support provided by the Air Lift Ride Control Kit would be perfect, even if you typically carry a bunch of gear in the truck bed.

I've linked to product description videos for the Ride Control systems mentioned above.

My contact at Yates Rubber advises that a nominal 8-inch keel roller does not measure exactly 8 inches; typically they are slightly smaller than the specified size, much the way a piece of 2 x 4 lumber is not exactly 2-inches by 4-inches. I took…

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…

For the LCI52-SB-86.5-68.5, the two ending measurements are: 1st - measurement from hub to hub, meaning the length of the axle in this case is 86.5 inches. 2nd - spring seat dimension where they're welded, meaning the spring seats are 68.5 inches…

Answer 12

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…
