Recommendation of Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System for a 3,000-Lb Utility Trailer

Question

Question:

Looking at the Timren trailer suspension system. Looks great exactly what I need. I am concerned about the 1,000 pound rating. I wanted to put the system on a 6 foot by 12 foot utility trailer with a GVWR of 3,000 lbs. I haul around 1600 pounds of equipment on the trailer. Will this suspension enhancement work on this trailer?

I would recommend to use the Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System , part # TTRA1032, on your 3,000-lb utility trailer. This enhancement system is for medium-duty trailers. It has a weight capacity of 7,000 lbs. This does not mean that you will be able to carry more weight than what your trailer is rated for, but it will help reduce sag and sway when you put the load of your equipment on the trailer.

It is always better to have more weight capacity than not enough weight capacity.

I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Timbren trailer suspension.
