VZ Ute suspension for towing

[Rippa]

Hey all.

I have an SS ute which has been lowered. Now I tow a trailer with a race bike in it about 2 weekends a month.
As you would know it sits too low when the trailer is on.

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on what suspension or set up would be better for the towing?

Bags. What springs are in the rear, super lows? If so maybe use lows in the rear

Drop in bags. 100%

I have heavy duty pedder springs, and poly air bags, perfect for towing.

Change the tongue so that the top of the towball comes back up to the regulation 400-450mm off the ground. You trailer will then sit level.

i have a 4x4 towbar that has adjustable height. can be set super low - super high. i agree air bags are the way to go also.

You need a set of PolyAir Air Bags. They can be inflated to a specific pressure to compensate for 'spring sag'.

For a lowered VZ you will need a set of #12493

For 'Superlow' Suspension a set of #11493

I had poly bags. They were ok. Since went to proper full bag, no spring. Rides better then ever

Thanks for all the replays guys.
Are the bags legal in WA? Sounds like the way to go.

Yes they are.

The question you need to ask yourself is why does the trailer put so much weight on the towball so that it makes the car drop that much. Load the trailer correctly so it doesn't have too much weight forward of the axle. A properly loaded trailer will have the same weight on the towball full as empty.
