Will The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4174 Help With Towing a 30' Travel Trailer?
Question:
Can the kit help with towing an RV trailer that’s roughly around 30’
asked by: Jason O
Expert Reply:
Yes, the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4174 will help make towing a 30' RV safer by reducing the amount the rear suspension is going to sag. A better option is to use a weight distribution hitch like the Equal-i-zer # EQ37100ET. This hitch allows you to transfer weight from the rear suspension to the front creating a more level and stable ride. It also incorporates sway control into the hitch which helps keep the trailer tracking straight. This hitch is rated for use on trailers up to 10,000lbs with a tongue weight of 600-1,000lbs. If you can tell me what trailer and tow vehicle you are using I can help verify the best options for you.
