Reply to "Torklift Lower StableLoads on a 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 towing a Lance 1575"

Got home early today so I engaged the StableLoads, pulled out the trailer, and loaded the tongue area up with the usual stuff that we take (minus the battery lock which is 3 lbs.) - full 7.5 gallon/30 lb. LP tank (53 lbs.), group 30 Trojan battery (70.2 lbs.), & Arvika bike rack & 3 bikes (123.6 lbs.).  246.8 lbs. -

*Yes I know that the bike tires aren't strapped down and that the battery box lid isn't on.  

Went for a drive.  Just a bit too stiff & tongue high, but otherwise rock solid.  

So I removed a wedge from the rear StableLoads (the fronts still have 3 wedges) and went for another drive.  Bingo!  I think we have it!  The StableLoads have removed the minimal, but barely present sponginess and porpoising.  The ride is not stiff and the trailer is perfectly level.  I am very impressed with this product as far as our specific rig is concerned.   

Here are the wedges that I removed (& stored in the TV with the manual) -
