Do the TTC-1210 and the 1211 help with towing?
Yes, both of them will help significantly when towing, but keep in mind they won’t keep the backend level. With the tongue weight of the trailer, the back end will drop.

The TTC-1210 can carry and extra 450 pounds and the 1211 can carry an extra 900 pounds.

Why does the TTC-1223 need to have a 500/600 pound load?

Why are TufTruck heavy-duty coils’ standard ride height shorter than the OEM ones?
It’s related to the design of our coils. We have to use thicker coil wire to make them heavy duty and if we made them to OEM height, then the truck would sit too high.
