    Looking into installing a gooseneck hitch on my 2011 Toyota Tundra Crewmax. I pull a 20 foot Carhauler BP now. I was wanting to get a 20 gooseneck and add airbags maybe. Any information would be much appreciated.

    I would look at a custom set of leaf springs too. They make a world of difference. Once thing to do when you get the trailer is to go to a cat station and weigh everything. Play around with where the weight sits on the trailer. It will take some time but worth it for a smooth ride.

    If you dont want air bags or custom springs take a look at Road Master Active Suspension. Worked well on my old tundra. Was able to max tow and tundra was dead level.

    I’m pulling my tractor now. It’s a 4540 Mahindra 4WD. It’s 5000 lbs. With Bushhog and Disc that’s an additional 2000.

    Here is mine...LS XR4145 Cab. Tractor with loaded tires is about 6600 with loader. Box blade is 450 and trailer is 2300-2500.

    That's with the road master active suspension. GN trailer would be a much smoother towTractor.jpg

    Thanks @shawn.roe24 i love it. Figured with a gooseneck and airbags my truck won’t be hurting as much and the ride would be much smoother.
