2000 Ford Ranger and 3023

[shunter917]

2000 Ford Ranger XLT with 4.0 L 6 cylinder pulling a 2001 3023.

I added an electric brake controller (natch) and air springs. These are installed along with the stock springs and do not replace the shocks. I have a pump mounted in the engine compartment and a gauge and lever inside the cab that allows me to add or remove air as needed.

I found this a lot better than the WD hitch for getting a level tow, but I still use the WD hitch to help with sway. If we are going a short distance, I tow without the WD hitch. The air springs also helped with gas mileage, both with and without towing, by about 1 or 2 mpg.
