TorkliftA7310 StableLoad Quick Disconnect for Ford/Chevrolet

I purchased this for my 2013 Ford F350 SRW. I needed it to level out my suspension because of a 3000lb truck camper that I carry when camping. It accomplished that. I didn't not need to drill any holes in my springs. They fit without any modifications to my truck. I did not consider purchasing upper StableLoad because my upper overload spring is already fully engaged when my camper is on the truck.A few comments - My overload springs were already fairly engaged without a load and the space between the overload spring and the rest of the spring stack was very narrow. Too narrow to install even one piece of the StableLoad. I needed to jack up my truck a substantial amount and then use a 5ft long pry bar between the overload spring and the primary spring stack to install the StableLoad. The bolt that holds the stack required the most clearance. It was pretty difficult to jack up my truck given my bumper is 20" off the ground with no load (this is a factory 4x4 with no aftermarket lift). People with even minor physical limitations may have trouble. For certain, you will need a substantial jack.My StableLoads will be engaged full time because to disengage them would require me to jack up the truck again. That is impracticable and tremendously time consuming. However, having them engaged full time is not a problem for me as I do not experience any difference in ride quality when my truck is unloaded. My F350 has always had a truck-like ride. I suppose people with a F150 might have a different experience as their suspension tends to be more car-like.Some reviewers have said that this product stopped porpoising. It does not stop it for my truck. But again, my overload springs were already fairly engaged and I purchased the product only to keep the load more level. My truck can still porpoise on certain bridges.I would buy this product again. Regardless, I do believe it is overpriced. There is very little to this product except a stack of metal shims and some bolts. The manufacturing and materials cost of this product is likely $30. A handy person who didn't mind leaving the product engaged could easily make this product with off the shelf items from a hardware store.

I installed the Torklift on my 2016 Silverado 1500 to remedy annoying porpoising when towing my 24-foot travel trailer. Using a weight distribution hitch, the trailer's tongue weight didn't fully engage the overload springs so when when driving on uneven pavement the truck would porpoise. The Torklift device fully engages the overload spring stiffening the ride and eliminating 90 percent of the porpoising. I highly recommend these for eliminating porpoising. Installation required that I remove the front factory mudflap. Carefully selecting the wedge height with washers will make engaging and disengaging easier. I also added a plastic washer to smooth movement. The only issue I had was that when disengaged, the springs would audibly "tap" the mounting bolt so I glued a rubber tire patch on the bolt which quieted the tap.

2018 Ram 3500 SRW Crew Cab,Install is a total pain in the butt for first time installers. The instruction are very easy to understand and follow with good install pic's.I installed them on the inside of the overload spring due to my 295/70/R18 Cooper st/max tires. Clearance from the exhaust is very tight and had to trim one of the plates a little. I also had to lift the rear of the truck a little to get the bolt thru the spring that holds everything on. I also used a little lock tight on a few nuts. Still have yet to road test them with a heavy payload. :)

I installed these on a 2004 Sierra 2500 LD crew cab 2WD. As usually with self install add-ons, nothing is as easy or quick as you're sometimes lead to believe by you tube videos (it does make a difference if you have a lift and you're working on a newer vehicle). I had problems with on the front leaf of the drivers side having a smaller space than the others and ended up having to cut off part of the bolt to get it through the top of the leaf into the hole. I had my wife push down on a pry bar while I nudged it with a hammer until it slipped in. It didn't take all three wedges on that side either. I confused with orientation on the drivers side also after installing the ones on the passenger side (my fault, but the instructions weren't that great). Eventually, after about 4 hours of modifications and reassembling, I got them on. I had some Rancho RS9000XLs placed on the back in combination with the Stable Loads and it really has made a world of difference with my truck camper - sag is greatly reduced and the ride is so much better.

I installed these on a recommendation from another pickup owner. I went from a Ford to a GMC and found the ride way too soft and mushy. These did the job to stiffen it up and reduce porpoising when towing my boat. We did take a 3200 mile road trip and I backed them to provide a luxury car ride. Back home they were reengaged to haul a load or tow the boat.Installation took a bit to figure out. The instructions could have been more clear. But everything was provided and doing a dry fit solved it. I jacked up the back of the truck to take pressure off the springs during the install and that made it fairly easy.

Excellent product, The Best! But it loses two stars for being overpriced.
