Upper Stable loads

As BillyRay says, we had the same problem with our 2014 3500 DRW. A PITA. We almost called it quits also.
They are on now, with lots of modification, and apparently not moving/twisting over 3000 miles. Gave us back 1" in reduced rear sag.
Torklift saw my "negative" post on installation and lack of instructions on this forum and sent us 2 Torklift hats.

In my opinion Torklift uppers are not worth 329.00 tax included for 1 inch reduced sag and aggravation regarding the newer ram DRW. Think I will just drive it stock. Really had no complaints driving with my TC. On our return trip home to Texas from upstate New York we were traveling a lot heavier than normal due to closing up our seasonal site with TT and brought much more stuff than anticipated.. Getting my money back.

on my 2006 SRW (had helper springs) I ran these

they were on truck for 70K miles (still are). I towed 5th wheel, and wolf Creek pickup camper and never had problems with them, but manufacture was quick to point out "there not made for what your doing".

They did not have the locator tabs.
And my 2006 did not have wheel wells liners (2wd). I don't recall them being that hard to install.

I tried those, but under load they compress to half their height. They did allow the truck to ride better unloaded than the StableLoads, but they did not provide offset I wanted under load.

Towpro, Just concerned bout movement without the directional tab like the factory bump stop has and the wheel liner is a pain on these Longhorn laramies. I bought the Dually so I would not have to do all the after market mods and I went and bought these anyways.Lol

Do you have lower S/L's installed?
I think they would be of more use than the uppers, that is if you have the lower HD spring pack.
I have the lowers installed on my '15 Ram 3500 DRWand see n need for the uppers atb this point

Yes I have the lower HD spring pack and no I do not have lower stable loads. I think I am over thinking mods.

About this close to returning Torklift upper stable loads A7200. These do not fit the Ram 3500 bump stop perch slots. Also the bolts are too long which makes the job extremely difficult with the ram longhorn Laramie wheel well liners. Which means removing mud flaps and liners. Not the easy install Torklift states. Nothing in the instructions states any of this. Called Torklift and they told me to grind or cut off anti rotational tabs and bolts. Concerned about stability since with out the one tab in perch slot like the factory bump stops. Bought them on Amazon through Tweetys. Torklift should state on website and instructions. I Put factory bump stop back on in 5 minutes.

My install was much easier since my Ford did not have liners. I think you need an open ratchet to really get to the mounts unless you have a really deep socket that will fit.

Today I went out to set up the upper stable load install today. Sprayed the bolts with some WD40 and let it sit for an hour. Had a lot of difficulty trying to get even a off set closed wrench on the bump stop bolt. There is no clearance to even turn with these wheel well inserts on my ram Laramie. Do not even know if a ratcheting closed end would work. Was thinking of buying at air ratchet to hook up to my craftsman air compressor and try this on the bolt nuts. Would this work or should I just take out wheel liners and mud flaps?
