I’m comparing the ST85MR with the Blue Ox TruCenter. Which one’s better for the new F-53 chassis?

Bryan, both reduce wander, but the # ST85MR is simpler and fully automatic. The TruCenter uses an air cylinder with a manual reset button the Safe-T-Plus uses a sealed hydraulic piston that recenters itself instantly - no switches, no maintenance.

Most owners of 2021-up F-53 rigs prefer the Safe-T-Plus for the “set it and forget it” operation.

Have you already installed suspension upgrades, or is this your first handling mod?
