    I had a stock 4 WD 2004 Tacoma with V6, manual 5 speed. No special shocks or lift and tow a 2007 Skeeter ZX 225. No problems. At times I had to be in 3rd to climb long grades. Here we are dry camped outside Needles, CA

    I recommend firestone airbags w daystar cradles. The cradles still let you offroad while you have the air bags.

    Before: Attached to the bottom

    Daystar Cradle installed and now the air bags are free from their bottom mount. Now I feel safe going over bumps. Always felt they might rip with full extension. (rear is jacked up)

    After airbags installed.

    Nice. Make sure to get the cradles. I tested them offroad and they did fine. Had them at 0psi, i think if you had air in them and a lot of pressure on them they would pop. Thats just what I think.

    Frosty, what brand of trailer are you running? Also, when the boat is loaded, any idea what the tongue weight is?
