StableLoad Suspention Stabilizer

[zell66]

I purchased a 2008 F-350 crew cab 6.4l and a 2012 Forest River Sierra 365SAQ.

First off this is my first 5th wheel and diesel. I have towed for the last 20+ years, we just upgraded.
Questions:

Does anyone have a StableLoad on there truck? Pros and Cons?

My truck has very little squat when I load 5th wheel and it is a challenge to find sweet spot to uncouple hitch. Any suggestions on how to make this process easier?

I tried both at same time, and despite cutting almost half the uppers off (perhaps bit more than), the uppers were still making contact all the time w/ upper aux spring-- thus making for a harsh ride empty. Removed them and replaced w/ stock rubber pads and just went w/ lowers only. Truck only dropped 2" w/ 3800 lb pin wt. Very happy w/ results.

For those of you that have used this system did you use the upper or lower overload device? or used both upper and lower?

Had them as well in our '15 F350 SRW and they worked as advertised by engaging the lower springs before the aux spring. Yes it did add some to a stiffer ride, but I think the tires being aired up to 80 psi made the ride worse. Purchased a long handled 3/8 ratchet and short extension and wore a old sweatshirt while engaging/disengaging them. Found out after 1st winter that they rusted up and had to make them a little looser so as to not have them do it again. With new coach, truck still came into contact w/ the aux springs, but truck dropped only couple of inches overall. Truck didn't come w/ camper pkg/swaybar, but the lower Stable loads took the worry out as truck had no sway w/ them engaged. Took them off in case I want to add to new truck, but don't know if I need them yet or not. IMO, well worth the money.

I have them on our 2008 GMC 3500 DRW and really like them. Only took an hour to install, no drilling needed on my truck. Takes just a couple minutes to engage them. The truck only squats an inch with them. The two areas that I had the most improvement is over bridge abutments and it eliminate my driveline chatter at launch.

I have the stable loads on my truck. I stopped using them because I could fill every bump on the road. They are also hard to install. I now have air bags and I like them a lot.
If you fill you need something I suggest air bags and a Hellwig big wig sway bar.

I had the stableloads on my Chevy 2500 and they worked very well. By capturing the overloads, there was very little squat. They were kind of a pain to swing them them out of the way while not towing
