- 2003 XLT
Hey all...new here, nice site. Quick question for you all. I have a 2003 Explorer XLT. I have a '72 Porsche 911 that I restored for track use and a nice covered trailer for towing to the track. The trailer weighs around 1500lbs (fiber glass) and the car around 2000lbs. (Not sure... but pretty light)
I am having no troubles with pulling, however I feel like it is pulling the back end down a bit and lifting the front a bit. I towed it from 100 miles or so but it doesn't feel quite right. I pull the car on as it is a rear mount engine and have the engine over the trailer's axels.
I was thinking I have a few options and wanted to see what y'all think.
Thanks in advance guys! See you on the road.

- Stableizers for the trailer. Not 100% sure how they work but they go on the trailer and redistribute the weight to the middle of the truck.
- Air Shocks
- Spacers/Stiffer shocks
- Other suggestions?
