Seems like the Sulastic system is like the RoadActive system, but on steroids?

RoadActive: https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Veh...f_Springs.aspx

I installed the RA on mine a year ago, as the Sulastic was well beyond what I require for my use. But, man, the Sulastic is one beefy system...

Good luck with this HD version. Hope they last for you, and it sounds like they still smooth out the ride despite being beefier than their predecessor. I went through two of their older versions, and I quite when both sets failed. (Posted results on YouTube) I did not tow heavy at all, and in fact only towed once or twice pulling a small 17’ Jayco TT. Looks like they saw the error in their design and went heavy. Although, I would still classify my use as light to medium and would think the normal version should work.

I remember that Mike... So when I searched based on my truck, it came up with this here, the model you had I would assume. But when I did a search for A 2016 F450, these also came up.

When you go to the Alumina Dutys, I used 2017, they have a different standard option, preloaded it says, similar to the ones made for the 2011 to 2016s, AND that adjustable monster set.

I'm imagining the shackle and/or spring sizes are different than the older trucks.
