Hey everyone,
I have a 05 eddie bauer expedition with the air suspension, I'm going to be towing a heavier travel trailer this year that will require me to use a load leaveing hitch, is there any precautions, steps, before hooking the trailer up to the trruck?
thanks for any info.

Everything should be fine. Nothing special needed.

Size isn't so much the issue. It's weight that is the biggest problem.

I looked at your pics and couldn't tell. Do you have the HD tow package or regular? If you have the HD, your good. If not, get a tranny cooler. Also you'll want a brake controller for the trailer or get a trailer with surge brakes if you don't want to get the brake controller.
