Air bags

[Ismael1128]

So I hooked up my toy hauler today after having the ready lift 2.5 installed and I’m wondering if I should get airbags because I think she squats a little bit look at the picture and tell me if you honestly think I should do the airbags ? Trailer loaded is 17000lbs

 

[Firetrout]

Interested in this as well.

bags will help bring it back to stock rear Hight. its not NEEDED, but youll be high beamed a lot less. With your load level bars on youre already taking a lot of weight off the rear, once you put your machine in the back thatll take more weight off the truck too.

 

[ICT Tremor]

@Uncas has an airbag setup he put together himself I believe for his slide-in camper. IIRC no one has an all-in kit for the Tremor at current.

Not to get off track, but that thing is really 17k loaded? What’s the GVWR?

The weight distribution hitch should be used to transfer load to the front. Airbags won’t do that.

Not OP, but it seems there are some Impact toy hauler TT's that have ~17k GVWR.

 

[Jrod250]

That’s a lot for a TT. My grand design 350m is 16500 gvwr
I’m not saying it’s not accurate. Just seems like a lot

 

[cookiemonster]

Oh, definitely. It's a big trailer.

 

[Jrod250]

Im going down the rabbit hole. That’s 2,000lbs over the conventional towing capabilities

LOL - I was going to say something but decided not to.

I’m all in

I even went back and checked the chart in the manual to make sure I’m not crazy. But yes, the dude is complaining about an inch squat on a trailer 2000lbs over the legal limit...

I'm curious about the legality. I guess Ford sets the GCWR of the SRW F350 at 30k pounds. Then says max conventional towing for Tremor is 15k.

What's the actual legal limit - stay under 30k total GCWR? Or the 15k conventional towing is another limit it has?

The 30k requires the high capacity trailer tow package and he has an F250
And the notes at the bottom say not to exceed maximum trailer weight listed

 

[Jrod250]

And. No matter if it’s an F250,F350, gas or diesel, they cap all The tremors conventional towing at 15k. No idea why

The tires limit the 350 Diesel to 15k or it’d be 20k

 

[Jrod250]

The tires limit the 350 Diesel to 15k or it’d be 20k

It can’t be the tires because in the f350 the 5th wheel/goose neck is 20k gas and 21,900 for the diesel They all have the same tires

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to figure: what's the legal limits and what are the "your warranty is now void" limits.
