Frank -
It actually makes sense now that I have spent some time with this.
Below are 4 pictures - all of the passenger side rear tire.
Notice that the truck unloaded has a smaller gap behind the tire (picture #1) as opposed to the front of the tire (picture #2).
So having 2 wedges (1/2") behind the tire (picture #3) and 3 wedges (3/4") in front of the tire (picture #4) seems more natural for our TV/TT combo.
Fully loaded rig very curvy & hilly tow test with stop-and-go traffic as well as up to 65 mph sections -
Success! The 3 wedges on the fronts & 2 wedges on the rears is the perfect combo. for our set-up. 
Drove from Santa Rosa, CA to Bodega Dunes cg in Bodega Bay, CA with absolutely no issues. No sway (although we didn't have any to begin with), sponginess, or porpoising. The TV & TT travel as a single unit in braking, stopping, accelerating, cruising, over bumps & pot holes, etc...
At Bodega Dunes cg (which has a dump station) I filled up the 25 gallon fresh water tank (I had already filled up the 6 gallon WH at home) and then drove the final way along Hwy. 1 to our destination - Wright's Beach cg (between Bodega Bay, CA & Jenner, CA). With the extra 200+ lbs. of water near the center of the TT there wasn't much change. Still a nice solid towing experience.
In our case this product gets a 5 out of 5. I highly recommend it.
Here are a few pictures.
Showing the fully-loaded TT sitting level with the StableLoads engaged. Filling the fresh water tank. And a few miscellaneous pictures of our site & the Pacific ocean. *My wife had to work this week so she drove out in her Beetle to get to work & back.
Nice & level. 
Looks good Jeff. Mine are on their way.
Right on friend!
I'm arranging for install this week and was wondering if you had done any measurement on the change of the hitch ball height before and after the final asymmetrical install? I'm hoping for a 1/2" increase in the ball height as well as settling the front end a bit.
Thanks for the detailed report!
HS -
Since our rig (1500 pulling a light 1575) was already level and I only needed to remove a small amount of bouncing/porpoising I never measured the top of the ball height.
Even with 3 & 3 wedges (the max) everything still sat & towed level. The issue was that the ride was too stiff. I went to 3 & 2 wedges and all is truly perfect. 3 & 2 wedges is the perfect amount of wedges to keep the springs exactly where they sit with no load on our truck.
If I were you I would get a new drawbar with a 1/2" taller rise for that issue.
The StableLoads aren't for raising the ball so much as they are to smooth out the towing ride.
Finally, if you are the least bit handy I would save your money to have someone do the installation as assembling the wedge packs can happen in the comfort of inside your home. Install is really just installing a bolt & then tightening everything up. Then, like me, if you decide to remove or add a wedge you aren't paying someone else again.
Here are the entire under-the-truck installation steps -
A bolt, the wedge pack, a washer, a locking washer, & a locking nut.
A final wrap-up -
Towed up and over Donner Pass (7,000+') today with the rig completely loaded (including our 5th wheel chest full of 3 cases of H2O, half a case of ale, generator, gas, etc.... Rock solid!
For our truck and TT lower StableLoads are perfect!
Here are a few shots taken at the Gold Run rest area near Colfax, CA on I-80 (The Love's semi dwarfs our rig, ha) -
A final final wrap-up -
I have left them engaged/in place while we are unhitched for day trips. Definitely a bit stiffer ride, but truly not too bad.
It would take less than 3 minutes to disengage all 4 StableLoads, but since the unloaded ride isn't that bad we are keeping them engaged between tows.
Great product!
Just another check in -
Went on a trip last month and are on one now. Yesterday had us on extremely curvy roads. Rock solid peaceful towing.
Absolutely no complaints with this product. A+.
Forgot to mention -
Last week's trip had us towing with a heavy truck bed (load of firewood, 1 case of SNPA, 2 cases of water, & a generator that I gave to my Dad who then put it in his SUV to take to his house) to the cg and then an empty truck bed home.
The rig towed exactly the same with the truck bed loaded and unloaded.
Jeff,
After reading your write-up, I'll be installing the Stableloads as well. One question--do you have a WDH? (Well....two questions) And if so, did you have to change the ball position on the hitch?
Giles -
No WDH/sway control with our small/light properly loaded/balanced 1575. Just the coupler on the ball.
I did not have to change the ball height.
The StableLoads when installed correctly keep the rear end at about the same height when there is nothing hitched up.
You are ALWAYS welcome to stop by and see my setup in person.
If you have any questions fire away.
Does your truck already have the silly factory circular stops installed? If so, you won't need to drill anything which is a huge win.
Here are 2 of the 4 stops that came with my truck -
Yeah, the stops are installed so it should be a piece of cake thanks to your in depth descriptions and pictures!
I fear I am going to have to go through and re-adjust the ball height. When I put the trailer on the ball it sags quite a bit. The WDH helps a bit and brings things level, but I think I'd like to see what effect these Stableloads will have. I'm open to readjusting the ball height if it eliminates the sag; if I can keep it level; and if it tows better (which will be wonderful--it tows nicely now but can get swishy over 65).
I'd love to come by and see your setup. Thank you for the offer! You can PM me with time and place.
