I am confused though. I have never run upper SL’s and i am hearing some folks say they do engage when unloaded and other’s say the ride is harsh even unloaded. My goal is to not effect unladen ride.
Why do some Folks have engagement when unloaded? Did they not set the upper SL’s correctly?
Did they not trim them?
Just eye balling the F350 looks like I will have ~ 2” before the upper SL’s engage.
So why the different opinions on upper SL’s?
Thx, Bill
I believe it depends on the year of the truck. I don't believe that they were made when my truck was new. I've had to modify the upper stableloads to fit my truck correctly, and YES the front one just touches my overload when unloaded. I believe that when I bought them (12 years ago) TL said that they didn't know if they would fit my truck but that they should and may need to be modified for them to work.
Driving a "vintage" rig has it's trade-offs and we've just learned that most things have to be adapted to work on 30+ year old RV's.
