Just installed Torkklift stable loads
Towing a trailer with a 1 ton SB. Wow what a difference, I had them on my old dually chev and I was impressed then, but with a single rear wheel shortbed, the difference is even more marked. I just bought a Dodge 1 ton SRW SB, so decided to give them a try rather than use airbags. I drove to Seattle earlier this week to visit their plant in person as I am quite close. Very impressive and a great bunch of folks. I could not believe the improvement in stability and sway. Highly recommended. The lower ones can easily be removed. I decided to wait & see before installing uppers, but I don't need them. As a Mexican Caravan Wagon Master, I have to deal with the million Topes (speed bumps) on Mexican highways. Since I am in front, I hit them first, and I miss at least one every year. (That is why I always tell the rig behind me not to follow too close as I have had to do some pretty hard braking) I really wanted to beef up my suspension as much as possible and when I had airbags on my original Ford, I had issues with leaks. I have always been impressed with Torklift products. You get what you pay for, I suppose. I have seen 3 truck beds damaged so far in Mexico by truck bed mounted Truck Camper tie downs, from hitting a Tope too hard. I am now a big booster of Torklifts frame mounted ones after seeing that.
