Keep Your Vehicle Level When Towing

G'day mates! Whether you're hauling your boat down to the coast for a weekend getaway or towing a caravan across the great Aussie outback, keeping your vehicle level is more than just about aesthetics. It’s all about safety, control, and ensuring your ride goes as smoothly as a cold beer at the end of a hot day.

Towing can be a bit of an art form, especially when it comes to balancing your load. That’s why having the right gear is crucial. Today, we'll have a yarn about how you can keep your vehicle level when towing and what Boss Air Suspension can do to make towing a breeze.

The Importance of Keeping Level

Why is maintaining a level vehicle so important when towing? Well, think of it like carrying a slab of beers—if you're not balanced, you’re likely to drop them, or worse, trip over. When your vehicle isn't level, it can lead to a whole heap of dramas, including reduced steering control, poor braking performance, and increased wear and tear on your vehicle and towing rig.

With an unbalanced setup, you may also experience trailer sway, which can be downright frightening and significantly increase the risk of accidents. When your car’s bum parts are sagging like an old swag, it affects the stability and control of your vehicle. That's where the magic of load assist kits comes into play.

How Load Assist Kits Help

Load assist kits are like having an extra mate to help carry the load, and they’re a game changer for anyone serious about towing. Essentially, they’re designed to level out your vehicle by taking some of the weight off your suspension, giving you a more balanced and stable towing experience.
