I said that eichhoma would probably want them.
If anybody tows like I do with a bed full of tools, props, boat cover, luggage (girlfriend's), spare tire, jack, and others odds and ends; you will find you will want a little more support in the rear end.
They can't hurt.
Good luck with your purchase eichhoma.

I have a 99 Kevlar gun on a steel trailer...total weight is around 14500#. I have an 05 F-350 LB Dually with air bags and I only keep about 15-20 lbs of air in the bags. it doesn't squat the truck at all. I also towed the boat with a single wheel and it too was fine.

I have an all glass '97 TG. I pull it with my stock 2001 Tahoe. I only pull around town and I would not go too far with this set up....I sure know it's back there when I'm towing but it does the job. My tongue weight seems pretty low. My rear bumber does not squat too much with the load. Your boat is lighter and your truck is heavier. I think you will be ok.
