What is needed to pull a TT

[tex]

I have a 2005 2x4 non B/T. I have a class 3 receiver and the 6 round plug in. My brother is buying a 27' Springdale TT that weighs 5600lbs unloaded. I am pretty sure a load level hitch will be needed. I would probable only tow it about 3 hours max.
It looks like I am getting some Hellwig helper springs from another member on here.
What about brake controls?


I am only towing this for him until he gets a new truck in a few months and I will also be using it at the deer lease.

A good WD hitch, class 4 receiver (class 3 is only up to 5k LBS) brake controller w/wiring and 7 pin connector at the hitch, and some sort of a good sway control. No need for the helper springs...although sure they'll help.

HudsonValley summed it up pretty good.. The only thing that I would add issome sort of trailer mirrors. Some states require them......
