Improved boat trailer towing:

Got a box the other day.
I'll get back to that.

My wife recently had a patient, a famous custom car builder / restorer on TV that had bladder cancer.
I can't say his name, if ya watch these shows then you'll know he was the good guy.

Anyway, Alice' team removed his bladder, and built him a new bladder outta his intestine.
It beats a colostomy bag for the rest of your life.
I told her to tell him he'll be "peeing like a racehorse in no time", but she doesn't have that kinda bedside manner, and passed on that statement.

Arnold Swartzenwhatzit gave her team & medical center a big award in person for creating & perfecting this proceedure.
If ya ever have this proceedure someplace else,, talk to her first for some tips to make the whole experience goes smoothly. You'll wish you did if infection sets in.

It takes about a 14 day hospital stay to get all dialed in heal'd and flowing.
All kinds of famous celeb car fans showed at the hospital up to visit him.

In that time, he show'd Alice pix of his family on his laptop and asked Alice if we had any pix of our family at play. We have a few in some online galleries.

He noticed her truck sagging with the Tige hitched up to it in a few pix.

She mentioned that people hi-beam her because the truck points up a bit, and bottoms out over bumps, so he ship'd us these rubber springs in that box:


Took me 20 minutes to install them and they are outstanding.
Ya simply replace the rubber stops on your leaf springs with these. A 4 nut loosening and tightening proceedure.

Easy fix for a ballance load issue. The truck handles sooo much better.
Ya still stay withing the parameters of your vechs towing/load spex, but these really help keep your truck level.

Timren hollow rubber springs.

Just an FYI, if your truck is sagging, then it's a pretty good indication that you have too much tongue weight. Aside from the towing instability that you mentioned, you could be exceeding the max rating on your trailer tongue or hitch (tongue weight). That said, you don't want it too light either. 300-500lb should be the ideal for most boats.

Helper bags have long been used to correct the sagging rear. Mostly you are going to find this on 5th wheels being pulled by half tons though.

Do you own a Dodge by chance? It seems an ice chest full of beer in the back of those will make them sag.

I have air bags on my Tundra because I tow a heavy trailer full of MX bikes and gear. They took about 3 hrs to install....super easy... and they work phenomenal. Air 'em up when you need 'em, deflate 'em when you don't. Best 200$ I spent on my truck. I would definitely recommend them to anybody having sag issues. They work.

Just a few minutes with the power impact wrench,, and done deal.
