Expert Reply:
Even though the Super Springs SumoSprings # SSR-610-40 will help to keep your 2016 Toyota Tacoma level while towing like a weight distribution system, they are meant to keep your Tacoma from experiencing too much wear and tear while under a load. They can be used with or without a weight distribution setup, and will improve your rear suspension either way. A weight distribution system is geared towards making your whole towing setup more level and safe, where the SumoSprings are a little more focused on your Tacoma.
I recommend adding suspension enhancement, like the SumoSprings, even if you are already using a weight distribution system, to help extend the life of your suspension and to give yourself a more comfortable ride.
