I have a suspension answer for you. The only way to determine what SuperSprings coil springs you need as a replacement is to measure the gap between the middle of your coils. The spacing of that gap determines what springs you need. It is important to make this measurement on level ground to make sure the measurement is accurate. For example, if you find that the gap is .5 inches, you need the Coil SumoSprings # CSS-1069. Feel free to reply to this answer with your measurements, and I will be happy to get you the right parts.

We also carry a great selection of hitches and tow wiring for your vehicle. According to my research, your vehicle has a 2,000 pound maximum towing capacity. It is extremely important not to exceed this capacity with your trailer.

With a 2,000 pound capacity, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C12339. Not only does the hitch provide you with 200 pounds of maximum tongue weight capacity and 2,000 pounds of maximum gross towing weight capacity, it has an easier installation.

As far as wiring, if you do not have a 4-way installed already for your small trailer, I recommend the Harness # C59236.

Also, to complete your setup, I recommend a ball mount and ball like the ones included in the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 1-1/4" Hitches - 2" Ball - 3/4" Rise - 3,500 lbs # C45147. This particular kit comes with a 2-inch ball. You can purchase a locking hitch pin with # e98879.
