Buying EC1160 - having weight anxiety ...
I know, I know, not another "I'm intentionally overloading my truck - tell me it's OK!" thread, but yeah, that's where I'm going ... sorry! OK, that being said, I'm getting ready to pull the trigge...

Just came back home with my new Chalet TS116FB and air bags were useless.Even at 100 psi they didnt lift the rear. Rear and front timbren did a very nice job and the truck handle fine crusing at 65mph.
Awesome! I love seeing impossibly-big looking TC's on trucks - I thought my old S&S 11DB looked big on my old '01 Dodge, but I think your Chalet takes the cake!
And I'm not surprised your airbags didn't do much - mine barely lifted the overloads off their perches with the EC on there.
The Timbrens on the rear act to engage the overload springs earlier, but front Timbrens act to stiffen up the front springs, as unloaded the Timbrens/front bump stops disengage the axel, however when loaded the Timbren immediately engages the chassis to the axel, stopping porposing, firming up the front end. The Timbren becomes a very firm shock absorbing addition to and enhance front springs and shockabsorbers.
I still get slight sway, but the whole truck is firm and feels like it is gliding on the road.
Cheers.
