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 !

    Ditto... I'm guessing your truck doesn't have a rear sway bar? If you really want to see an improvement on top of what you've done, get a Road Master Rear Anti-Sway bar. Expect around $500.
    I did have a factory rear bar, and upgraded to that. Huge difference. I can't imagine what the difference would feel like if you had no rear sway bar at all and put one on.

    Bob,
    This is good news.
    You need to fill out your rig's specs on your user file so we can see what kind of rig we are talking about. At least I know your name.
    From the picture i deduce a 2-leaf main spring with a thick lower overload which is what is keeping you stable. From the u-joint flange it can be a Toyota or maybe a Ford with that big round flange. In any case, it looks like you have a 1/2 ton truck.
    Keep us posted on how all that works out for you.
    regards, as always, jefe
