TorkLift StableLoad Suspension Upgrade w Quick-Disconnect - Lower Overload Springs - Stainless Steel

Installed as expected. Excellent quality of build. Spend slightly more for the stainless steel version, cant go wrong. 657210

These things were very pricey but come really well recommended so I bit the bullet and ordered them. The alternative was having an RV shop install an entire system of air bag suspension. Torklift makes these and I ordered the more expensive set which is all stainless steel but considering where it gets bolted under your truck its worth not having everything frozen with rust a year later. The instructions were actually very poor on this item but it was simple enough to figure out on my own although I had to call Torklift twice. I was done in an hour or two and it works perfectly. 647215

I received the stainless steel version to avoid corrosion. A well built, sturdy product. On my F350, I had to do quite a bit of jacking and use of crowbar to get it in. I haven't towed with them yet and they do not change the ride by leaving them engaged. This should solve the porpoising problem we have towing a fifth wheel trailer. 647710

I installed these on a 2016 F-350 short-bed crew cab pickup truck, on which I often carry a Lance 855S which nominally weighs about 3,000 pounds. I expected them to reduce side-to-side sway, which was a non-trivial issue in our travels, especially in gusty crosswinds at highway speeds. So, they DO in fact make a perceptible positive difference in the way the truck rides and handles under load. That said, the nature of the leaf springs on the F-series trucks from about 2010 onward severely limits the potential utility of the whole StableLoad concept. Why? Because there's hardly any space between the bottom (short) leaf and the next (full length) leaf! If you don't have some easy way to lift the truck off the axle (AirLift shocks or a pair of really tall jacks), you can only fit ONE of the StableLoad's 3 wedges into place. So, instead of adding 3/4" (3 wedges) to the point at which the bottom short leaf engages, you can only add 1/4" (1 wedge)! That one wedge makes a perceptible but not very significant difference in the truck's handling under load. So, I'm not sorry I did it, but I DID expect A LOT more benefit per dollar spent and per hour invested in installation (a soap opera for another time; make sure you have a 4' pry bar before you start the work) than I actually got. 884547

Our setup: Truck - 2020 Ford F150 with heavy duty tow package. Travel trailer 600 lb. + tongue weight and 4,800 lbs dry weight and Anderson No-Sway Weight Distribution hitch. Purchased all late May 2020 and took a number of relatively short camping trips and found the front end of truck to feel light which affected steering and front end sway. Had a 3,000 mile Yellowstone trip planned for early September 2020 but considered cancelling it due to what I felt to be an unsafe handling situation. Semi's would really pull and push our setup when passing us. After researching towing issues and products we choose TorkLift StableLoad Suspension upgrade. After installation we took a couple of late August trips to test the results. I was amazed on how much improvement theses small devices made in handling and stability. We took our Yellowstone trip and all went well. No concern over handling so we felt so much safer than prior to installation. In all honesty, if the handling had not improved we would have cancelled our long journey. What we learned through our experience is that it is so much about reducing rear-suspension sag. The TorkLift upgrade did in fact significantly reduce that sag which put weight back on the front suspension thereby improving steering and handling. Once installed the TorkLift devices are simple to engage and disengage. Note, that this review and our experience includes the use of a weight distribution hitch which I consider essential to a complete travel trailer towing package. Our only suggestion is that the installation instructions were of better quality. Not much to ask considering the price of the product (but well worth the $$ given the results). 883460

Love this product! Works exactly as advertised and you don’t have to worry about screwing around with airbags. Simple and ingenious. Recommended them to a couple of buddies who love them too. 850823

Great product and felt the difference immidiatly. installed on a Ford F-25 6.7L 4X4 for mainly towing. Stainless is the way to go. Customer service at etrailer is absolutely unbeatable! I will NOT purchase from any other business for my truck/trailer needs. 821991

I use these to keep my F-350 from squatting when I pull our 5th wheel camper. The ride is very smooth - far superior to the rough ride of air suspension. 816914

Item was extremely easy to install . Take the time to watch the installation videos [online] or request the video from torklift. I advise assembling everything prior to going to the vehicle. I have yet to haul with the Stablelifts engaged but can already tell a difference in handling. 790703

Works great, thanks so much! 655467

Wow, its been a year! I leave it engaged all the time. My Denali was too soft from the start. This tool makes it so I can drive my Trailer anywhere in confidence. Great addition to the towing capability of my truck!

Review from a similar StableLoad in Vehicle Suspension

Hasn't been much time for me to really write a review, but I'll write one as requested. So far what I've noticed after install is the rearend feels tighter, the good kind of tight. Haven't towed with it yet that won't be for a while either, but suspect if it is already making the suspension tighter it should definetly make at least some kind of difference during heavy load situations. 176030

Received in a timely manner, however my only issue was not being able to actually track my package myself instead of via etrailer system...not enough info. Otherwise, we are very pleased with the product and etrailer service and will seek again when needed...Thank you for your response to my emails etc...very courteous and prompt responses... 394585

Was quite concerned when I went from an older F250 to a 2017 F150 in carrying my Truck Camper. The stable loads on the new truck gave me even greater stability and confidence than on my F250. Highly recommend them ! 654175

Just did not like them. Too hard to engage disengage. Took them off after 4 weeks. Still have them if you know someone who wants them 504727

This is the 3rd time I have purchased the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System. I have always been satisfied with the ease of installation and the effectiveness of these springs, whether I am pulling a tow behind trailer, a 5th wheel or carrying a load in my truck. The only thing I did different this time is I purchased the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System with the TorkLift StableLoad Rear Suspension Upgrade. I will post a review on the complete purchase once I install these in addition to the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System. 671115

Installed StableLoads on a 2017 Ram 3500 dually that carries a 4500lb (wet) truck camper and pulls a 24' enclosed car trailer. The StableLoads are easy to engage/disengage depending on load, and have none of the issues common with airbags. In combination with a Hellwig BigWig sway bar, the truck rides well and handles well, even with the high center of gravity with the camper. 556140

Review from a similar StableLoad in Vehicle Suspension

I have the upper and lower stableload suspension upgrades on my 2001 2500 Dodge Ram diesel pickup. I had these installed before a cross country trip with my heavy gooseneck horse trailer. There is significant improvement in handling and steering. The truck now hauls the trailer with much less stress as the weight of the trailer seems to be much better distributed. The truck bed used to sag a bit when I attached the trailer (even with factory overload springs) and now that's not happening. I believe that there is possibly less wear and tear on the rear tires as well. I am pleased with this upgrade and have recommended it to my horse hauling friends. I haven't bothered to disengage the lower stable loads so the ride is stiffer when there's no load, but it's really not an issue right now. 287508

Product is excellent. I ordered, double checked to make sure it was right model for my truck and then wrote email back to etrailer to triple check the order. When the stableloads arrived, they would not fit my truck without modification. I have a 2012 Ram 3500. The stableloads were too wide and thus I had to modofy in order to keep my original pads along with the new stable loads to make it fit my truck. 405552

These TorkLift enhancements are as they claim. Along with the TorkLift axel bump stops, these totally have completed the stabilization I was desiring. No more swaying and the leveling of my rig is where I want it with a 5,000# truck camper pulling a load. These would have received a 5-star rating if the prices were not so expensive, but they are supposed to have a lifetime warranty. 373991

Review from a similar StableLoad in Vehicle Suspension

After using the stable load TLA7310 for almost a year, I am still very happy and satisfied with the product. Easy to install and like being able to engage or disengage the stable loads depending on my load. Mine are installed on a RAM 3500 dually crew cab and I haul an Arctic Fox 990 camper and sometimes trailer a boat with the camper. The ride was greatly improved with reduced amplitude on the floating bumps and reduced sway on turns, but I felt I needed a little bit of lift in the rear. At night I was getting some high beam flashes from oncoming traffic which told me the rear was sagging a bit. I added the F2560 Firestone airbags to my truck which I only need to inflate between 15 to 50 psi to give me about an inch of lift. In my opinion the stable loads and airbags complement each other and work well as a suspension system enhancement to the factory springs. Both products can be "deactivated" with no load which is important to me because I will often drop the camper at the campsite and drive significant miles with no load. 642535

Review from a similar StableLoad in Vehicle Suspension

Having been in the auto/truck repair business for over 50 years, I thought this would be a good Idea so I tried it. I could have made my own but it would be a lot of cutting and drilling because it is so many pieces. I used it to add capacity so I could haul my camper that I purchased three states away and had to pick up. I used 2 of the 3 plates because there wasn’t enough room for three. It did very well like that but after I got back I added the 3rd plate figuring I could use the third one by just jacking the truck slightly before engaging. I thought all three woul be needed once the camper was full of water and gear. I am enclosing a picture of how ti drill the springs with using the vehicles own drill press (screw jack) for changing tires. I still need to test fully loaded and with all three plates in place. 560864

So far so good, I added the third plate and with grease and the air bags I can get it engaged. I also added one leaf Super Spring and VR front coils for a 3500 clone effect. I deflate the ait bags after I engage the overloads as they are too spongy. Fully loaded with built in generator and 46 gallons of water it sits about one inch higher in the back.
