I have a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL vin F 3.3 . I tow a 4,000 lb travel trailer. Looking to boost my rear springs with air helpers. Ready to purchase now if I can find the correct product. Can E Trailer help?

I am going to Recommend that you go with an Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET as there are no suspension assists for your 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL. The weight distribution system will help level your vehicle while towing as well as make it safer by reducing sway in your travel trailer. I have attached an article about weight distribution below and why it is so important. This System is rated for 6,000lbs of loaded weight and up to 600lbs of tongue weight and it includes a 2" ball. If this weight rating is correct for your travel trailer but need a 2-5/16" ball you will need to purchase # EQ91-00-6100 separately.
If your tongue weight is higher than 600lbs or gross trailer weight is over 6,000lbs you will want to step up to the 10,000lb System # EQ37100ET. This hitch will include a 2-5/16" ball. Remember these are not dry weights will need to reflect the actual weight of your travel trailer when loaded. If you are still confused by any of this please let me know and I will be glad to help you find the correct system for your specific needs.
And with either system make sure to get Sway Bracket Jackets # EQ95-01-5150. These sit between the spring bar and trailer bracket giving you a quieter ride and extending the life of the weight distribution system.
