Woohoo! We're getting a Hi-Lo trailer just in time for summer.
What are recommended towing setups? This trailer has a tongue weight of under 400# and the PO had successfully pulled it with a Windstar equipped with no more than a trans cooler.
Auto trans cooler? Best electric brake controller? Overload springs? Etc.?

Yours may have a auto trans cooler, take a look. I use a drawtite digital brake control, Roadmaster suspention coupled with timbren load boosters. Mine has about 450lbs of tounge weight and I put another 300 in the back of the truck (dirt bike and equipment). From the sounds of your trailer all you would need and appeciate is the road masters. Mine is a fill size 21 foot holiday trailer weighing in at about 5000lbs. Don't put on the procomp shocks they are WAY to stiff.

B&M supercooler is one of the best out there if yours doesn't already have an aux cooler.

Don't get the Drawtite or Reese controller. I'd suggest the Tekonsha Prodigy. If that's too expensive, at least get a proportional brake controller. You'd get whiplash in stop and go traffic and have little "panic" security with on of the Reese or Drawtite's "time-based" braking.
