With my rig carrying a 1,200 pound trike in the garage (Plus all of the rest of our stuff!); would you suggest that I just go ahead, and purchase the heavier duty versions?
Thanks!

Note that your toyhauler has most of that storage space behind the rear wheels. Putting 1,200 lbs back there will actually remove some weight from the front axle. Thus putting the heavier Sumo Spring on the fronts may be counter productive.
If you can get the heaviest part of the trike as far forward as possible that may help (e.g. I'm guessing backing it in would accomplish this).
