Agreed. You purchased one of the largest, heaviest TC's on the market, and you plan on towing a fairly heavy trailer as well.
You will definitely want to invest in a Torklift Superhitch MAGNUM, and a 48" Torklift SuperTruss extension. The Chalet TS116 extends over 1m beyond the rear edge of your truck's bed so the longest extension is necessary.
Hopefully you already have a dual-rear-wheel pickup truck like an F350 or 3500 Chevy or Dodge. If not, it will be ABSOLUTELY necessary, at the bare minimum. You will be adding between 6000 and 7000lbs (2700-3200Kg) of payload to the truck, which is more than most dual-rear-wheel pickups are rated to handle.
That is where the suspension modifications come in. You will likely need airbags, and possibly upgraded tires and wheels.
