Question:
Good morning! I tow a 5,000ish lbs trailer with a 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser and I am having some issues with the rear end squatting. My preference would be to address this with suspension instead of a weight distribution hitch if possible. Do you have anything that would fix this problem?

Expert Reply:
Good morning Rob and congrats on the new SUV! To fix that squatting issue you're experiencing, I recommend the SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs item # SS88FJ. These are custom fit for your 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser and have a 1,400 lbs capacity.
The SumoSprings item # SS88FJ are super helpful in a situation like yours. They only engage when weight is placed on the rear end of your Land Cruiser, which means they won't affect your daily ride as far as comfort goes like the item # SS28FJ you were looking at.
What kind of trailer are you pulling and why are you not interested in a weight distribution system?

Thanks for your help and the quick response. I'm pulling a Jayco Jay Feather Micro so there's not much room on the tongue for a weight distribution hitch.
