Hey Brian, thanks for reaching out!

Your 2012 Honda Pilot has a unibody frame and according to page 544 of your owner's manual Honda doesn't recommend you use on either.

Since this is the case, I recommend installing the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # THROD2 as an alternative way to help out with any sag you might get from trailer towing.

Thanks. What sway control system would you recommend with the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # THROD2 for my 2012 Pilot EXL?

@BrianS For sway control you'll have 2 different options; a traditional friction sway control like the Curt # 17200 which comes in the Kit # C57DR, or an electric sway control like the Curt True Course # C94VV that activates the brakes slightly to help correct sway. The friction sway control is more cost-effective, but it is one that you have to disengage in order to back up so that's a trade-off you'll have to take into account.

Best solution we have would be rear suspension enhancement for your 2017 Honda Odyssey. We have the Air Lift kit part #AL60815 which basically allows you to add air pressure to increase the suspension support as needed. Or we have the Timbren kit…

Hello Mark, Great question! Since your 2016 Honda Odyssey already has raised rails that run from front to back, you’ll want a roof rack that installs directly onto those rails. I don’t recommend a roof rack that requires drilling into the roof. It…

As a starting point, I'd recommend having the rear suspension of your Odyssey examined to make sure everything's in good repair. Both the #CSS-1168R Coil Sumo Springs and the Air Lift #AL60815 will affect your vehicle suspension whether the…

Although the Timbren springs might sit at roughly the same level above the axle, they are constructed completely differently. The factory bump stops are intended to keep the suspension and axle from bottoming out against the chassis of the vehicle.…

Hey Dennis! The Acadia and Traverse do share a lot, but the coil springs are different which means the #AL99PD will not fit your 2025 Traverse High Country. You may be able to use the universal springs like #AL60909 but you will need to measure to…

Answer 7

Yes, it will! I checked with Phoenix USA and their Front Hub Cover w/ Pop Out item #PXQ822F, you were looking at, will work with your 2008 Fleetwood Southwind with 8 lug 22.5" wheels since your factory lug nuts are 33mm.

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

Answer 10

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
