Yes, but that's potentially too much dynamic tongue weight for our rigs without a weight distrbuting hitch. I would never tow 3500 lbs without equalizer bars. We tow a 5000 lb horse trailer with bars all the time with absolutely no drama. DOC |

Hello fello CRD's, I've been towing a camper that weighs about 2000# with the "air lift 1000" for the last 3 years and have not had any issues. No need to use a weight distribution hitch. The air lift 1000 is the best solution if you want to level your ride when towing. |

These appear virtually identical to the Firestones that several member have had good experience with. I have had AirLifts on my 2001 4WD PSD Excursion for 8 years with good results. I would be reluctant to tow much over 2000lbs with the KJ CRD without a weight distributing hitch, though, even with air bags. However, with a WDH, we have towed 5000 lbs over 30K miles without the slightest drama, so far. DOC |
