Stable Loads
I topic beat to death probably, but I have a quick question. I installed a set of Torklift lower Stable-Loads this lifted the truck perfectly, but it took away the contact of the upper over-load spr...

I agree, fine tuning is the answer at this point. I have lower stable loads engaged, I have Roadmaster front and rear sway bars. So to decide if upper stable loads were needed, I fabricated one. Instead of using a hockey puck I purchased 4 heavy duty plastic felling wedges. Hot blued two together to make a long block, then used heavy duty plenum tire raps to fasten it to the spring pack. I used a special tie wrap tensioner to really cinch them down. I only installed them on the forward part of the overload springs as the rear was already engaging. My findings say that it was an improvement and I will probably be leaving them there as I don’t see why the setup wouldn’t last.
egarant,
That looks like a great test, but I predict it won't last long. Nothing to keep the blocks from slipping apart but a bit of glue unsuited to the task.
Agree.
although felling wedges do make great lower stable loads!now you just had to put that idea into my head, didn't you.....
They work great! Used em for years on the old Dodge. Never bolted them in either, too lazy to drill the springs.
I cut a shallow dado across one side to countersink the strap on a u bolt and clamped them to the lower spring with u bolts.
Only time one came off was after miles and miles on a washboard forest road with no camper in the back and 80psi in the back tires….
