In order to help your 2019 Chevrolet Colorado when towing I recommend adding the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit part # RAS4617. The RAS will do a great job of helping to prevent sag which reduces issues like poor braking, irregular tire wear, and improper headlight aim. It also works to reduce rear end sway on the truck to help you feel more in control while towing.

If you have issues with trailer sway and it has brakes then you can use a device like the Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control part # 335TSC-1000.

If a weight distribution system is not recommended then it's unlikely a friction sway control device will be.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking; are you looking for a fitting? What RhinoFLEX do you currently have? Any more information, as well as a part number for your current hose would be extremely beneficial and may allow me to help.

Hello again Frank; tongue weight is typically 10-15% of your trailer weight. At 5,400 lbs you could go over the max 800 lb tongue weight of the #FA94-00-0800 but that probably isn't the case here. If you really want to be sure you could always…
