Thumbs up LandYot's Radius Rods Installed

I installed the radius rods and they have made a great improvement in overall rear end stability for my X. Now the rear end follows the front end like one would expect. Cornering is more stable and the X has an overall tighter feeling.

I will post pictures in the near future!!!


Thanks LandYot!!!

Thumbs up Excursion ride improvement.

I had a pair of Landyot's radius rods installed on my 2002 Limited
and it made a big difference, I highly recommend the investment.
Photos can be seen in my gallery.

LANDYOT's Radius Rods

Just wanted to add my opinion to this.

I installed LANDYOT's Radius Rods with only a small expectation of improvement. I was surprised by how much the straight-line stability improved. I've driven the truck over 3000 miles since installation, including almost 1800 miles with a 31 foot travel trailer in tow. Quite a remarkable improvement.

What I was looking for, and got, was reduction in the "wander" that forced me to constantly correct steering angle on any type of road.

Thanks, LANDYOT!

Thanks

Our trailer is Dual Axle. Actually is on the "light side" for most travel trailers of this length. There are quite a few dual axle trailers 30 ft. in length that run up to 10,000 lb GTW. Most of the heavier ones have slide-outs, which basically adds 700 - 1,000 lb.
