Expert Reply:
That is a fairly heavy trailer, so I would choose the HD RoadActive Suspension # RAS3611-YHD over the standard # RAS3611-Y. I'm willing to bet that you would need to set the standard RAS to the highest tension at 2mm. Since this will be the equivalent of the lowest setting on the HD, you're better off having the ability to gain more support if needed. The HD kit also gives you extra room for adjustment if you end up hauling heavy cargo in addition to towing the trailer.
