Upper Stableload alternative
I don't want to use a lower Stableload. I like the upper set up, but then I'm stuck riding on the overload all the time when I'm only using the camper 5 or 6 times a year. I'm entertaining making some...

Looks like a good solution. The only concern is driving extended periods loaded, the bolts may loosen and cause shifting from constant pressure and movement. Good thing is you'd hear it if it comes loose. THUMP! Maybe weld tabs extending out either side and use a u-bolt from the bottom side up? Or figure out some kind of stop to prevent it from slipping all the way off.
Hey, been a while. When I get a chance I will post a pic of my final solution. It really worked out excellent. They have not moved on the spring at all. I put a little plumbers grease which is rubber-safe on the top to keep them from squeaking. I also made clamp-on stops that go on the outer side of the springs. It does 2 things. 1, when the camper is off the truck I just slide the spacers forward so they don't catch the rubber bump stops. The stops allow me to slide them into the right position instantly without fiddling around when I need them. And 2, if the a spacer somehow became loose the stop would prevent it from sliding off the spring.
