Torklift Stable Load - Experience?

Good Morning All!

I recently saw this on a cable truck show, and found an ad for it in our forum here:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ruck-sway.html

I tow a travel trailer and I have a Blue Ox anti-sway load balancing hitch and that makes a big difference.

However, on windy days crosswinds still make towing difficult.
Also we do a lot of camping in state parks and other places where there are many uneven dirt roads.

I have been considering getting some Firestone Ride Rite air bags but then I saw the Torklift product.

Do any of you have any experience regarding this product?

Do you think that something that would engage the helper spring to be better or just as good as air bags? Or not as good?

Thanks.

Steve.

More often than not our customers find that StableLoad is the only suspension upgrade necessary to correct issues of side-to-side sway, body roll and rear end sag. You can read a FTE Moderator’s review of StableLoad here:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...nd-review.html

StableLoad keeps your factory suspension operating at its highest possible stability as the factory engineers intended by pre-loading your factory overload springs. Airbags are a great option for leveling your truck, but they also place more of the weight of your load directly over the bags versus distributing it through your truck’s suspension. This can actually worsen issues of bouncing, sway and body roll.
