Torklift StableLoads deception

I have purchased and use Torklift tie-downs and Fastguns on my camper and they perform well though I did have to make some modifications with a cutting saw and grinder to get them to fit on my 2011 truck. As a result I continue to get promo offers from the company including one today for their Stableloads.

I took a look to see what their pitch was and found that they provided a summary chart comparing their Stableloads to air bags, new shocks, and an anti-sway bar. They somehow managed to omit the one true alternative to Stableloads which is adding more load capacity with more leaf springs as with the SuperSprings products.

The Stabiloads do reduce motion by restricting the range of motion of the leaf springs on a truck but they do nothing to safely increase the actual load capacity of the truck which requires adding more support. Only Supersprings or air bags provide additional load support.

[COLOR=]Only Supersprings or adding leaf springs results in additional load carrying capacity that need never be adjusted or repaired for the life of the truck. Anytime a solution is accompanied by a new point of failure or interferes with the factory engineering of the suspension I have learned from experience to avoid it and find another one.

Air bags can add side to side weight distribution and can be also adjusted for load. I see nothing in Torklifts advertising that their products replicate that. Getting the overloads to engage earlier is good, I use Energy Suspension Bumpers and they work great. However, I see nothing that indicates Torklift products are defective or they use deceptive advertising. I have used them since 2005 and find they are solid cabover camper mounts. Prior I used the competition, HappiJac, and did not feel that they provided the superior frame mounting that Torklift does even though HJ seems to think their products are frame mounted.

Additional load capacity is for the truck engineers and marketing folks to decide, not the addition of another spring.
