You are able to use a weight distribution system while having air bag suspension on your 2009 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. When choosing the correct weight distribution system I recommend The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 8,000 pounds GTW, 800 pounds TW # FA92-00-0800.

This distribution system has a gross towing weight up to 8,000 pounds and has a gross tongue weight between 400 pounds to 800 pounds. When using a weight distribution system you want to get as close as possible to the weight of your trailer that you will be towing. Anything above the weight or below the weight could cause more damage then without using one at all.

The system has a powder coated steel construction and is durable and corrosion resistant. Everything is included with this weight distribution hitch except The Hitch Ball # 63840 and 1-7/8 inch Thin Walled Socket # EQ70-00-4800.
