I've got a Dodge Ram 3500 SRW 4x4 and carry about 3000lb, wet camper + trailer. I've got air bags, but they make the truck sway.Looking to give it stability and someone on the Cummins Forum mentioned the Torklift Stableloads. I've got upper and lower overload springs, but don't want to drill any holes so I'm going to use the uppers only.Anyone have any experience with the upper stablelift overloads?How about anti-sway bars?Which would you do first to decrease the sway and give the truck some stability especially going off road?Thx a bunchR

I was set up the same way, I put the tork lift stable loads in and it helped because it contacted the springs sooner. I left the original spacer in so it contacts the spring sooner than just the stable loads alone, you will have drill out the stock spacers so you can use them both. A sway bar on the rear end is what really cut down the sway for me. But I'm glad I put the two product on the truck. Now I set the air pressure in the bags just enough to make contact with the springs and I good to go.

I don't know about upper lower, I just got the one that attaches to the stock bracket on the truck. when I bought them there was no upper lower choice. sway bar is what I meant. I edited my first post a bit.

Not sure what year your truck is but my 2006 3rd generation Dodge 2500 SRW 4x4 is exactly the same as a 3500 minus the top overload spring. I had airlift 5000 air bags installed and plumbed separately with dual controller and is it also creates more sway if I increase more than 10 psi. I also installed a 1 ton Helwig sway bar too and add a leaf on each side spring pack. I am seriously thinking of removing the airbags. Were installed 3 years ago and rarely use them. The 3rd generation Dodge 3500s have the upper overload spring and I would install the Torklift stable loads for the upper overload. Heard from other members with Dodges that they help with sway.

Mine's a 2007, 3rd Gen, 5.9LIt's got the upper and lower overload springs.Funds are tight so trying to decide between the Stableloads or a Sway Bar. Airbags were recommended, which is why I got them. But I didn't realize they'd add so much to the sway.Thx

Did you use the upper stableloads or lower?

Is a trace bar same as an anti-sway bar?
