If you're interested in the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs for towing a fifth wheel trailer with your 2021 Toyota Tundra then I recommend the part # SSR-610-54 as they have the highest capacity (2,800 lbs) of the other SumoSprings. I really like the SumoSprings but I do feel there is a better option for your truck and what you're doing, the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2445. The reason being that they will provide more support than the SumoSprings and the support is adjustable so you can always get the perfect mix between support and comfort which leads to the best overall ride quality. They also engage instantly whereas the SumoSprings you would see some sag before they even start working. The air bags can also be aired down while not in use for a 100% factory ride quality whereas with the SumoSprings, you'll still feel them on bumps and such even when not loaded. That said, they will both serve you well and feature a simple bolt-on install. I just tend to prefer air bags when doing heavy duty towing. The drawback is that they require maintenance and the SumoSprings are maintenance free.
