    Yeah I recommend them. Just make sure you have something to cut the bump stops with (sawzall or the like) before you start. I had a couple of false starts before I could get my hands on a sawzall.

    is anyone else having rear bouncing issues with the stock shocks overheating?

    We are looking to buy a 7 foot wide toy hauler soon and am wondering how the truck will tow in stock form...

    Not sure if we ever got a solid answer on this one, I'm about to tow a 6x12 uhaul trailer from South FL to Charlotte, I have a 2016 double cab trd 4x4 tow package 6MT.
    Is the goal to avoid OD (5th and 6th) in a manual as well?
    Thanks.

    I would definitely stay out of 6th but I did some cruising in 5th towing 4500+ lbs

    I installed sumo springs. 1/2 hour to install on a limited. Im about to pull a two place enclosed trailer about 3000 lbs. Sumo springs should keep truck level and from bouncing.

    I'm planning on getting Sumo Springs before we even get the trailer. I didn't think about them keeping the truck from bouncing. Thank you

    I recently completed a trip with my 17 DCSB TRDOR towing a 1700lb trailer with a 2800lb car on the trailer totaling about 4500lbs. I also had tools, jackstands, and a jack in the truck.

    The truck has sumosprings
    $289 SSR-610-40 | SumoSprings Rear for Toyota Tundra, Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier, Nissan Titan
    SSR-610-40 and a weigh safe hitch (to make sure tongue weight is within 10-15%). The truck towed very level with 500lb tongue weight on it. I kept it in 4th gear and it towed pretty well for a midsize. Got 12.8mpg there and back.

    Just wanted to post my towing review.

    The difference in the two Sumo springs is the density of the rubber.

    I would honestly just loosen the U bolts and take it right out. You have to replace in if you ever take them off. Learned that the hard way, but yes the Ride rites are awesome. I'll never own another truck without them
