Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2008 Cadillac Escalade Towing Horse Trailer

Updated 04/28/2020 | Published 04/27/2020

Question:

I have a 2008 Escalade it has rear coil springs and the air self leveling system. Everything I two with it it handles fine boats and snowmobile trailers etc. Except I also have a 2 horse 4-Star Alum. horse trailer it does pretty well with one horse but with 2 it sages quite a bit. To help the suspension can I use the air bag systems in the springs or am I better off with the rubber bumpers #TGMRYS4.

I would recommend air bags like the Firestone kit part # F4186 that fits your 2008 Cadillac Escalade with autoride suspensions over Timbrens as the Timbren kits have a reputation of being kind of harsh when unloaded which is not something anyone would want from an Escalade. The air bags allow you to air them up when you need the additional support and deflate them easily when not needed so that your ride isn't affected.
