Question:

I need to pull a very heavy 10,000lb, 1500lb tongue trailer very short distances, like 300 feet to park it where I cant get my motorhome into. The factory setup will handle the load except for the amount of sag. Which system, will provide the most support while not degrading the ride when not pulling a trailer? Thanks, Mike

The heaviest-duty suspension enhancement we have for your 2022 Toyota 4Runner 4x4 is the Timbren Kit # TTORSEQ. Timbren jounce-style springs like this are known for being able to help out with heavier loads, however they are also know to make the unloaded ride a little more rough so for your application I recommend using the SumoSprings # SS78DR as they aren't as unforgiving as the Timbrens.

I think it goes without saying that you run the risk of damaging your 4Runner by moving around a trailer that doubles the max tow weight rating of your vehicle. These suspension enhancements are designed to assist a factory suspension that's in good working order but they don't increase the weight capacity of the vehicle they are installed on.
