How's the towing with the 35's. I am assuming you go through mountains to get there. My friend keeps telling me to get 35's when I get the leveling kit, but I am afraid I'll loose too much power. I have a 24' front bath toy box and it weighted in at 7200lbs and 900lbs tongue without toys and water. Your trailer could possibly weight more. You have a sweet trailer by the way.
The truck had them when I purchased it, so I don't have anything to compare to. I think it does fine. I can take a grade pulling the toybox through a place called lambs canyon here in Hemet at about 55 mph.
I experianced the same thing you did. I felt my rear suspension was sagging after picking up my KZ Sportsman Sportster 26p. I installed the Firestone ride rite airbags and was able to bring it back up to normal.

I agree, the dry weights on most travel trailers are with them stripped down. No propane, batteries, fluids, minimal options and so on. If your toyhauler is hauling toys and camping gear you are likely over the tongue limit and depending on what you haul along possibly even the tow rating limit.
You are thinking backwards. When a toyhauler is loaded the weight is loaded in the back which will push the back down and relieve weight on the tongue.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but since we're on the subject....My truck sits level with my trailer. If I do the leveling kit, will it cause the truck to sag? If so, what would be a better option, the deavers or airbags from prg?
-thanks
When I had my leveling kit on the front I went to put my trailer on my truck and it kept going down and down and down until the draw hitch hit the ground. That is why the trucks come stock with a rake to them. It works like a teeter tater. As you push one side down the other goes up. Air bags will elimnate the sag, but the deavers will also help especially with axle wrap.

Casino I live in hemet as well and I have the deavers with Bilsteins and airbags to pull my Attitude toyhauler. I also have a W/D hitch to keep it riding right whenI go to the Oct wells.
Nice trailer. just watch your weights when you are full of fluids!
