I installed mine late last week after returning from an 850 mile excursion with my 1985. I agree with your review 100%, including the part that "I'm very happy with it". I like it because everything goes into the box and there is plenty of room, and it only needs one function to unlock it versus undoing the box straps. I purchased the box designed for two six volt batteries even though I'm running two group 24's. I also replaced the locks (plural because I also own the propane lock system,...

Hi Engunir, The rally will probably only have Lance owners and anyone else who is interested in Lance are always welcome to stop by or camp with us! We don't have any vendors scheduled, but they're always welcome. Our knowledge base is pretty experienced, so if you or any attendees have any questions we are always there to answer any questions. To date, we have a whale watching trip planned and then there are always wine tasting trips, potluck dinners and such. We also plan on driving at...

I won a set of lower Stable Loads from Torklift and am sharing insight as to my experience so far.  I received them through the Golden Ticket contest.  Let me begin by saying prior to the Stable Loads I already added air bags, a sway bar and...

If anyone who hauls a TC I suggest you get the Torklift stabile loads. What. a difference in handling. I love those babies. An easy install and for $200.00 is a cheap safety enhancement.

We recently switched TV's. We went from a more than adequate 2000 Lincoln Navigator with a self-leveling rear-end (air bags) which towed our 1575 easily straight and true to a more than adequate new-to-us 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 Extended Cab LTZ (V8, 5.3L, factory tow package, integrated brake controller, ...). *Here is the thread on our TV switch - http://lanceowners.hoop.la/top...ed-to-a-new-to-us-tv While the truck is much more than adequate to handle our small, skinny, & light 1575...

Very nice install. Thanks for posting and a BIG LOA THANKS to Torklift

You lucky dog!! The Torklift company is very generous!

I will be field trialing these starting next week. Will let you know my impressions.

Not as cool as I expected for 270 bux...pro's1. it's shiny and will look good on the trailer2. it's better than plastic3. it might add 32 seconds to the time it would take a thief to steal my batteryscon's1. it might add 32 seconds to the time it...

A short while back someone asked what mods we would be looking to make in 2016. I mentioned I would like to make secure my two 12v Interstate batteries that are sitting on the tongue of our 1575. Shortly afterwards I was contacted by Kerstin at Torklift International who asked if I would like to evaluate one of their PowerArmor products for free. Of course I was more than happy to do so. I know that Plance has already documented a similar install but wanted to share my experience. Hopefully...

Thanks Erick! The trip is in 10 days. I will definitely be giving these a solid test & a thorough review. All - Erick is referring above to springs that don't have factory stops (& holes) on the ends of the springs. Torklift has a kit for that. However, it sounds like drilling the holes isn't as quick and easy as Torklift makes it sound. Here is the kit - StableLoad Quick Disconnect (Lower Overload) Part #A7311 (With drill kit) - http://www.torklift.com/index....stableload#drilltool

Thanks Randy. I don't think the fact that yours are tight with no load is an issue as you need to lift the rear end a bit (with a floor jack, curb, TT's tongue jack, ...) to engage & disengage the StableLoads before & after towing anyway. Though you might find when installing the first StableLoad that just 2 (or 1) wedges is better for your truck. However, the bracket does seem like an issue - not only because of its location, but also if it is wrapped around all of the springs. I'm...

Frank - You have StableLoads?! I'm surprised that Torklift didn't know that. I (& they) thought that I was the first non-TC LOA'er to use them. Awesome! I am glad to hear about your results and tips. I'm also glad to find that I'm following in your footsteps. So it sounds like you first tried 2 wedges and have now moved up to 3 (like I have). What didn't you like about having just 2 wedges? And I'm glad to know that I'm on the right track with planning to use the electric tongue jack...

Torklift knows that I have them, as does Roger (Logboy). We were testers for them years ago. They didn't have a dealer network that knew how to install them back then. Sheryl knows about my install, and the dealer problems we had. I am moving up to 3 fingers because I have a little more rear end drop than I should with just 2 blades installed. The original installer didn't really know what he was doing, and I knew even less, so he set me up with 2. I'm going to try 3 and see how I like it.

I won a Power Armor Solar through the Torklift Golden Ticket program and  I am sharing my experience with this product.   Torklift's new POWER ARMOR SOLAR is an all-aluminum battery box with an integrated10Watt Zamp solar panel attached to...
