How much have you towed with your tbss? I need to tow a bit under 6000lbs snowmobile trailer all winter long and boat in the summer. Does the rear air suspension keep the back end from squating bad when you freight it up?

How are you guys accessing the factory 7 pin harness. Mine is up there by the spare tire but due to the SS skirt I can't plug anything in. Complained at the dealer and they tapped in a 4 pin harness. That IMO was not the right way to do it. I'm thinking I may need to make a small bracket to relocate the connector.

Most guys just move it closer to the bottom of the skirt. There seems to be plenty of slack wire to move it around.

I towed a 7200lb 2004 Dodge Cummins on a 2800 lb two-axle flatbed trailer for about 30 miles... I dont think my TBSS liked it very much, threw a O2 sensor code after dropping the truck off and was running a little rough.. I think it forgave me now, I had no other options at the time

While on the subject, can you tow safely with a stall?
