I've pulling trailers with a 1/2 ton Suburban(s) since 1994. First 1/2 ton Suburban was 1989 4X4. Last 10 years it was a two wheel drive 1999 Suburban. I have 2 trailers that I use the hitch set up on. One is a 30 foot camper and the other is a 16 X 7 foot cargo trailer. Max load for both trailers is 7000 pounds. I use a load distribution hitch and sway bars.
I purchase this hitch set up new in 1983.
I use the same hitch set up on both trailers. I can control the the amount of weight transfered to my Suburban by using a different chain link(s) depending on the hitch weight. I prefer to have my heavier Cub Cadets to the front of the trailer. You will have less sway problems.
I have used air shocks, heavy duty gas filled shocks and overload coiled spring/shock on the rear. I had problems with air lines and air bag leakage. The overload coiled spring/shock worked the best for me.
