Question:

I have a new 10,000 lb. equipment “car hauler” trailer that I will to haul logs, my tractor with loader and bush hog. At times I expect to haul the trailers max load which should be the load plus trailer weight not exceeding 10,000 lbs. My truck will no doubt feel the strain of these loads. What do I do about that ? I’m thinking rubber Timbren or urethane type. $$ is a factor, would like to stay nearer to $200. Thanks for your input,

My recommendation would be the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFR1504D like you were already thinking. These heavy duty rubber jounce-style springs work independently to support off center loads on the rear of your vehicle and become more stiff the more weight is added. This will definitely help support your

Another consideration may be a weight distribution system. Since you mentioned cost being a factor, just let us know anytime you would like a recommendation there as well.

If not done already, do check your owners manual too to confirm your maximum towing capacity (pages 269-275) compared with this trailer.

Included are both solid overview and installation videos for more information.
