Suspension enhancement kits provide additional support which helps the suspension of the vehicle but they do not increase the weight capacity of the vehicle since the capacity of a vehicle is more than just the suspension capacity. So what the kits like the Air Lift # AL59570 are designed to do is give you the ability to tow in a safer and more level way within the capacities of the vehicle.
