Yesterday was my first full day of driving with these pucks and they seem to work good. The rear end of the truck is back up where it should be, nearly level. It takes about 40 PSI in the airbags to get it there, with the upper spring pack just engaging with the puck insert. I was surprised how much lift these inserts gave me, considering they are only 1/2" high. but, I don't let the camper ride down on the overload spring very hard, I lift the frame with the airbags until the camper just begins to lift off the overload spring. The Rancho 9000 shocks and Helwig Sway bar reduce the side to sway.
I don't hear much noise from these inserts, nothing objectionable. When I pull them, I'll see whether the HDPE plastic has performed OK. As suggested, I think I will take the pucks out and drill a hole in the bolt extension to secure them to the overload leaf. I'll use loctite to fix the securing bolt.
Hans, nice horses!!!
