Hi all,
So I am planning on towing a travel trailer (6-8k lbs) this coming summer with my '88 E250. I have gone through all the maintenance stuff and also added a large trans cooler. I will have a full weight distro/anti sway hitch set up and a brake controller (already installed), but I wanted to get some information on the pros and cons of adding helper springs to the rear. I am thinking that I probably won't need them. I towed a loaded car trailer, about 5-5.5k lbs, without any kind of weight distro set up and the read of the van barely moved.
However, I found that it is always good to be prepared for the "Just in case" situations.
Opinions?
