Recommended Vehicle Suspension for 2014 Toyota Tundra Towing 5th Wheel Camper

Question:

I would like to get a half ton towable 5th wheel camper to be towed by my 2014 Toyota Tundra but the Firestone air suspension system description says that it cant be used with a Tundra that has a 5th wheel hitch. I would like to have some kind of extra help for the rear suspension, prefably using an air system. Do you have any recommendations?

You are correct that air springs do not fit with your 2014 Toyota Tundra with a 5th wheel hitch mounted in the truck bed.

I recommend going with the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, # TTORTUN4. This system will help the suspension on your 2014 Toyota Tundra when you are towing a 5th wheel. When the 5th wheel is hooked up, the weight will compress the rubber springs and stiffen the suspension to help level it. When driving with the 5th wheel, it will help reduce sway. With the weight on the rubber springs and the compression of the suspension, the stacked barrel design provides resistance against sway.

When you are not pulling the 5th wheel the rubber springs do not touch, so this allows the factory suspension to work normally, with no rough ride.

I have attached the installation instructions for you to check out.
