Ramon, our Armadas have coil springs and an independent rear suspension. You probably also have the air bag suspension levelling system if you have Big Tow. This set-up will not work with our spring system.

If towing capacity is the issue, I'm not sure this type of setup would help with the Titan. Maybe. It's not axle wrap at issue there, but rather "squat." I've not studied the diagrams and drawings, but it might help somewhat. "Helper" springs for towing purposes usually go on the back half of a leaf spring setup.

A weight distribution hitch would probably do you more good -- if you are not using one and you are towing heavy, start with that, because you really do need one.
