Question:

Hi, I am looking to improve the stability of my 2012 Nissan Xterra 4WD as I will be towing a combined 5000+ lbs. with a car trailer and offroad vehicle once a month or so. I am looking at two different products: Item # RAS4529-XT and Item # TJRC01. I would like to know the pros and cons of both set ups. I plan to also use a weight distribution hitch, and would like a recommendation for those as well. Thanks!

Overall the RoadActive Suspension kit part # RAS4529-XT will be better. It will give you the additional support you want, it will help make the vehicle handle better, but what really makes it stand out is that it won't make the ride quality as harsh as the Timbren # TJRC01 would.
