Lower Stableloads are easy to flip out of the way when not in use. All it requires is a jack and a socket wrench. I use a floor jack under my rear hitch to lift the truck just enough to pivot the wedge. The product install can be tough if you don't get the drill kit from them to drill the leaf spring -- it is hard stuff! My leaves had one hole existing and the other ends had to be drilled. The device made it simple and the return to Torklift was just as easy.
The upper Stableloads are easy to uninstall but I find myself leaving them in even though the ride is definitely stiffer. Mine barely engage with no load so a bit bumpy unloaded. I could always just unbolt and remove them but I'm lazy. Some folks shape them and tune them to a custom fit. I may do that eventually.
If you are to be using the truck a lot without the camper perhaps airbags would be better. Airbags do give you the ability to choose infinite levels of lift. I didn't want the load as unsprung, so I chose the Stableloads. Very happy with them. They work great for firewood hauling too.
