You shouldn't have any problems towing. You will probably need to modify your existing bump stops or purchase shorter ones.

helper bags. its cheap and what you need. if you have access to air. then all you need it the bare kit. but it if you want it on demand. you can upgrade to a compressor and rocker switch setup.
