Stable Load by Tork Lift

When I bought my TC a little over 2 weeks ago I wasn't out of the POs neighborhood with it when I thought...."this was a mistake" but my wife assured me "it will be fine this is a good idea...you'll see".

Well she doesn't have to drive the freaking thing...I couldn't believe the way the truck handled...it swayed side to side like a overloaded tandem dump truck...it was awful!

I read on this site about airbags and Helwig sway bars but figured I would try the easy way out with the Stable Load by Tork Lift.She ordered them Monday night and they were here today.

I installed them in about a hour and drove the truck around town...

Very good results !!! no more sway and the truck seems to handle a lot better.

Finally some good news !

  • Stable Loads really leveled out my set up, now I only use the air bags for side to side leveling. They were a pain to install on mine because you have to drill out the overload perches to mount them, it was worth it! I’m at 10,700 lbs. on an 8,800 GVWR truck, no more rear end sag.
  • Just installed these (not the quick release version) and the first trip around the block yields good results - we leave for Yellowstone in a week, so that will be the real test.
  • I have them and love them. I had no need for airbags. They have been on the truck since 2010. Install and forget.
