Firestone Work-Rite

[CrowsnestGuy]

Has anyone used these? Are they just as good as timbrin?
I can get the Work-Rite local but if I want the timbren's I have to get them off ebay for about 75 bucks more.

Thanks

Just a quick question on your install. After using all my spacers there is about a 1-1/2" space between the bumper and the axle. Did you have the same space or less? Also I had to turn my brackets side ways in order for the bumpers to meet square on the axle and I thought that was weird as the instructions said otherwise.

TIA

Lol. That was a positive response. Maybe we should all drive 3500 trucks incase we need to haul an extra bag of groceries home or want to go tent camping, then I would have enough capacity for the lawn chairs. Really is amusing how some people just have to give there 2cents worth because someone has a smaller truck then them and have to make a comment off topic and never really give a positive response to the question.
Maybe if you have no real input to the question then you should not reply?

That was a positive input!

I tried the bandaid approach with a truck that was not up to the task and towing a trailer I rolled over in Portland.

I see this all the time...I have a truck, I just bought a RV that my truck can't handle in stock condition so I will apply some bandaids and all will be well.

I could have put air bags and 19.5's on my 98 2500 RAM 4x4 and towed our new Mobile Suites, the truck had the power to do it but not the mass!

So maybe some of my "no real input" will make someone think and save them from some of what I went thru with a truck that was not up to the task!

I want to apologize for the harshness of my comments but I see this so often on RV.net were someone asked for help or an opinion on a product and the response always seems to be get a bigger truck or Honda generator.

My truck is more then capable to pull my trailer and I am well within my limits, and yes I do have some sag due to a improper weight distribution hitch that I am working with Blue Ox on, but I actually want the Work-Rite stops for all the times the wife makes me go get rocks and gravel and topsoil for our large yard that she makes beautiful every year.

Happy Camping!

No problem! I should have elaborated more in my first response.
