Learn how to improve your towing setup with proper weight distribution, suspension upgrades, air spring kits, sway control, and brake setup for safer, more confident towing.

If towing feels tense, something in your setup needs attention. A solid towing setup feels steady, predictable, and controlled. You pull out, merge, brake, and turn without fighting the truck. When things feel off, your hands tighten on the wheel and every bump gets your attention.
Improving your towing setup brings confidence back into the driver’s seat. Let’s walk through the areas where small changes make a real difference.

How to Improve Towing Setup

Winter puts your truck to work. Cold mornings, slick roads, road salt, and reduced traction all stack the odds against you. A little preparation keeps your truck dependable when conditions turn rough. If snow and ice show up every year where you live, this checklist helps you stay ready instead of reactive.

Cold weather can turn good performance into poor performance quickly. Fluids thicken. Batteries lose their oomph. And traction is gone in an instant, sometimes with no warning at all. Solid winter truck prep improves not only safety but also protects components that could be compromised, helping your truck handle daily driving without added stress.

How to Prep Your Ride for Snow, Ice, and Freezing Temps

Whether you’re into lift kits, off-road accessories, or building a full-blown overland rig, these stops are where the action lives. Let’s break down where we’re headed, and why you’ll want to be there right alongside us.

Mud, miles, and meetups. That’s how the first stretch of the year looks for Rough Country, and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

We’re loading up the trucks and hitting some of the biggest off-road events and overland expos of the year.

Where We’re Headed in Early 2026: Rough Country Event Schedule

See how Rough Country partners with local high schools to develop skilled welders, support workforce growth, and create manufacturing careers close to home.

What started in the classroom turned into real opportunity as Rough Country signed seniors John Johnson and Sarah Rector as incoming welders. Two futures set in motion with a hometown company building suspension and accessories trusted by drivers everywhere.

Your Black Friday Guide to the Best Rough Country Savings

Dyer County and Dyersburg High School students toured Rough Country’s East Court Facility for Manufacturing Day and explored real career paths in modern manufacturing.

When two busloads of high-school students step into a building full of laser cutters, welding bays, and roaring presses, they get a clear look at the kind of work that shapes real products. Students from Dyer County High School and Dyersburg High School saw the process behind the parts they often spot on local trucks, Jeeps, and UTVs. At Rough Country’s East Court Manufacturing Facility, you could see their interest build as they moved through each area. And yes, a few of them admitted they wanted to come back and apply.
This year’s Manufacturing Day brought energy, curiosity, and plenty of “I didn’t know you made all of this here.” Exactly what we hoped for.

Manufacturing Day at Rough Country: Inspiring the Next Generation

Rough Country at SEMA 2025 highlighted products and the team behind them, focusing on real use, clear conversations, and building lasting connections.

SEMA 2025 has ended. Our booth highlighted the products along with some of the team who works on them every day. Every bracket, bolt, and mount came from hours in the shop and real trail miles to confirm performance. 
The event helped show how our suspension setups, recovery gear, and storage solutions support daily use and weekend trips outdoors. Performance comes from experience with rough ground, paved roads, and everything between. Our team works in those conditions year-round.
