First Off: my youtube channel is Motomuscl3 so check that out for video updates...BUT

I have recently installed new tires/brakes/rotors/airlift 5000 loadlifter and factory brake assist module for the RV I pull...I will be doing some more modding in the future

I will be posting everything in this thread and also on my channel.

My adjustments:
Rough Country 2.5 Level
Wildpeak at3 305/55/20 (3k miles on them)
Airlift 5000 Load Lifter
Powerstop Z36 Truck&Tow Brakes/Rotors (getting installed now)
WeatherTech Digital Fit (Front and Rear)


Here are a few pics of the brake assist mod and location of the air valves and a few of the truck. Pic with RV is without the airlift** [emoji3].

Input is welcome!

How long is the trailer you're pulling and what's the GVW and GVWR on the trailer?

Just asking because it looks like it's over the 9500 to 10500lbs the manufacturer "recommends" for pulling.

I've been wanting to buy a toy hauler but I can find any I like that is under my 15' 1500 Towing capabilities

37 ft. And the RV is 7.5k empty so I just estimated 9k bc all the **** we put in there. Weve pulled it no problem once and thats when I decided to get the airlift load lifter to take some pressure off the suspension.. hope this helped

Update: rotors look great!

Will report back initial thoughts.

*I assume I will be painting those calipers at some point [emoji108]*

Two questions:

1. Did you install the airlift system or have it done?

2. What brand are those rotors?
