Cost to Install Airbags and compressor
#16
Thanks Carl and thank you again Moogal. Rep sent your way. Sheryl, I have seen your ads through the forum and I haven't ruled the Torklift system out. Not that I don't trust you, but you are a vendor so I would like to get an opinion from somebody that has used them. Can anybody that has installed them chime in and speak on their experience? Thanks again guys. Lots of great advice being given here.

After doing a lot of reading I think I will probably at least start with the Torklifts if/when I get a new 5th wheel. I like the idea of it not being engaged all of the time like additional springs and it is cheaper than putting bags and a compressor on. Thanks for all of input.

I will admit that I was concerned about that, but when I was looking into these I looked for reviews online or any instances of somebody saying that these bent, broke, or had any other negative effects on their leaf springs and the reviews were overwhelmingly positive (one person reported a bent leaf spring on a 2006 Ram). In this day and age when somebody is unhappy with a product they do not hesitate to post it online. If I read one negative review I generally don't worry. It is when I start seeing the same issue over and over again that I get concerned.

Just as long as you have taken this into consideration. That along with having infinitely adjustable air pressure to match a load is what threw me into the air bags instead of those gadgets

I tried, but could NOT use them on my 2005 HD F250 6.0 Diesel. I had the Ford Overload springs upgrade for CAMPER use. Also had the Ford Tow Package. As the StableLoads were not designed for this Ford package, they were not made for my truck.....HOWEVER! I was able to use the upper spring StableLoads in my truck and they work VERY well. So well that I do not require airbags.

The airbags will help with sag/squat but you don’t want to blow them up too much because you will disengage your factory suspension. I would suggest a combination of airbags and StableLoads, but many of our customers start with StableLoads because it takes care of handling issues.
StableLoad preloads your truck’s factory overload leaf springs to keep your truck’s suspension operating at its maximum stability as the factory engineers intended. This reduces and eliminates rear end sag, body roll, porpoising and drastically improves the overall handling characteristics of your truck when hauling a heavy load. Many of our customers find that StableLoad is the only suspension upgrade they need to make. We conducted a test recently to compare the effectiveness of airbags, StableLoad and a stock truck suspension:

Would be interested to see what you guys think of it.
