A picture did come through so I attached it. For your 2012 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 the proper fit is the SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit # SSA19. If you used the # SSA7 springs you asked from that would most likely be the issue as that is a fit for 1987-2004 Dodge Dakota trucks or 1993-1998 Toyota T100 pickups. Having the improper fit is most likely the issue and they cannot be re-arched to fit. Your other option is to use a jounce style spring instead. For that I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-610-54.

With the additional weight on the front of your truck I recommend adding the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension - Front Axle # CSS-1094F. Anytime you have that much additional weight the front end will drop slightly due to that additional load and will cause additional wear on your factory suspension.

You are going to need the TorkLift Tie-Downs #TL89FV for your 2020 Toyota Tundra with the 5-1/2' bed and factory receiver. I recommend pairing these with the FastGun Turnbuckles #TLS9529-2-LK to secure your cabover camper.

I would recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs #AL88299 over the SumoSprings #SSR-610-47 for your 2016 Toyota Tundra carrying a slide in camper. The Air springs allow you to adjust the air pressure in the springs to dial…

Sumo Springs should do a great job at helping to control the movement of your 2018 Toyota Tundra but if your suspension is worn out then newer leaf springs would help, but if you have the 1,000 lb SumoSprings #SSR-610-40 you can upgrade to a stronger…

A hitch extension does cut your trailer hitch capacity by 50 percent, but for as light of a trailer as you have and how heavy duty your tow vehicle is that wouldn't be an issue. So yes, a 14 inch hitch extension like the #C45795 would be a solid…

Answer 7

The #D30 you referenced is for hitch fabrication and it sounds like you simply need a hitch extender. There is an 18 inch extension, the Curt Extender for 2" Receivers -18" Long #C45796 which you can use with a bike rack. The only thing to…

Hey Brandon. The longest hitch extender we have is the 14" long Gen-Y Hitch item #GY89SR. This fits a 2" receiver and has a 10,000 lbs capacity but it will reduce your hitches capacity by 50% like all hitch extenders do. The 15-3/4"…

The only other extension option we carry besides the Torklift SuperTruss extender that does not cut your tongue weight in half is an extra long ball mount. Traditional extensions such as part #C45796 cut the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on the…

One of the differences between Draw Tite adapter #HE18 and the Curt model #C45796 is the length. They both have 18" between hitch pin hole and the ball hole, the Curt is overall a bit longer. The Curt has an overall length 23-1/4" and the…

Answer 11

We do offer hitch extenders/adapters that will fit into a 2-1/2-inch hitch and reduce the receiver opening size down to a 2-inch size but none of these is 18-inches long. There is another way to go that might work for your application. You could use…

Answer 12

Yes, your 2000 Ford F-350 can use a ball mount with a 2 inch drop like #C45310 with an 18 inch extension, the Curt Extender #C45796. Keep in mind an extender will reduce the capacity of your trailer hitch, the Reese by 35 percent and the Curt by 50…
