Is the Weight Capacity on # ABSTORSEQ Enough for 2016 Toyota Tundra Towing a 7,500 lbs Trailer?
Question:
We want to install these to help with our rear sag when towing our 24ft trailer. Our GVWR on our trailer is 7500 and our tow max on Tundra is 9800. Will the load capacity of 6,000 not work for us? Do we need something with larger load capacity?

Expert Reply:
The 6,000 lbs weight capacity listed for the Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops # TABSTORSEQ is the vertical load limit of the bumpstops. When towing a trailer, the trailer weight is distributed between the trailer axle and the tow vehicle. The weight that is transferred to the tow vehicle is referred to as "tongue weight" and is usually about 10% - 15% of the gross trailer weight. You will never actually have the full 7,500 lbs of your trailer weight being transferred to your vehicle and the tongue weight should be well under 6,000 lbs when towing your trailer.
However, the Timbrens you were looking at are not a confirmed fit for your 2016 Toyota Tundra. Instead, I recommend something like the # TTORTUN4. This has a 6,000 lbs weight capacity. Check out the video linked below for more details.
