Hello toyota gods!! Thank you for bringing us this amazing forum, i use it all the time for information for my toyota rv. i live in my toyota rv full time for a couple years now, and i want to add a moped to the rear details: I have the standard square tubing in the rear, that attaches directly to the chassis frame. right now it holds the septic tank flush tube, and also has a "bolt on" spare tire carrier, that is holding my bike right now just fine. it is a full bumper, of steel tubing, that goes across the back of the rv. so.... 160 pound moped, maybe addition of 20 pound bicycle, all attached to this??: http://www.amazon.com/Hitch-Receiver-Bumper-Mounted-Cargo/dp/B005HJTQO0 or maybe this??? http://www.etrailer.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/pics/U/F/UF35-946402_3_1000.jpg then just stick a tiny rack to the hitch mount... what do you guys think? i am totally ok with criticism if this idea is just not ideal tell me what you really think.

i got the airbags and they help sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!! the thing is lifted more than i could ever need, and there is no scraping at all!!! sorry i never got to reply, i have been busy, thank you guys for your help! i got the firestone ride rite airbags, with a 5000 pound capacity, and had a local craigslist backyard mechanic put them on, i am so glad i did! if you are reading this post as a archive, and your rear is dragging all the time, buy airbags!! you will not regret it

i see. I am guessing i need to buy some big air bags? would that help raise the back so it doesnt drag as much?

i just took the pictures! here they are: the black cylinder is what is connected to the 200 psi refill tubes. what do you guys think??

sure, ill take some pictures later in the afternoon when i get back to the rig. i wouldnt be surprised if it has really old springs. pictures to come

what about these kits: http://www.timbren.com/ses-rv.htm they seem to fix the problem. Has anyone used these?

they actually look like cylinders, not so much airbags like what i am finding on other sites, but they are fillable. Maybe they are adjustable air shocks??

they look new, and they have a little nozzle that says "do not exceed 200 psi" on them. I had no idea that would be bad because of that

It is in good running order, and i love it! I have been full timing in my other rv for three years now, and have been saving up for a toyota for awhile. First thing that concerns me big time: the dragging in the back. Every time I hit a big dip or steep driveway, those two triangular back bars scrap the concrete really hard. I look at other pictures of our rigs and it seems like everyones is pretty low to the ground in the back. Is there any kits that can raise the rear? I have air bags in the back, and I filled them to 200 psi, and it is still pretty low for my liking. It sure is embarrasing to grind up every single dip i hit! I want to add my battery bank of four marine batterys and my solar panel array, but im scared to do so till i get this figured out. any ideas out how to fix this?
