Great thread. I’m towing a Kimberley Karavan (@5,500 lbs). I have a 2” sag which isn’t an issue when we’re on the road. However, we pull the camper over some pretty tough 4x4 roads to get to our backcountry camping spots. I have airbags on my Tacoma and I’m thinking they are probably the best option for the GX.

My most immediate issue is that the hangers for the chains are way too small. Attaching the chains and breakaway brake is like solving a puzzle. Has anyone found a good solution? Perhaps a shackle?

Would something lIke this work? I've had to use these on tight access vehicles in the past.

I’ve tried a few of these but I haven’t found one that works yet. My chains are pretty thick.

Does the adaptive cruise work in tow haul mode?

This took care of my 2.5 inch sag. Only need to put 10 psi in these which rides nice. it also lifts the rear 3 inches at the push of a button.View attachment 4491

are you using an onboard air system? if so, im curious to where you put it.

That’s exactly what I would do, decent set of rear air bags!

I added these to make it easier to chain up. Highly recommended.
