Does Truck Need to be Jacked Up to Engage/Disengage Torklift StableLoad

Question

Question:

I ordered the A7310 Torklift Stableloaders for my Chevy 2500HD. After reading the install directions and a couple of comments Im now wondering if I have to jack my truck when I engage them. Does the truck have to be jacked to engage and disengage the stableloaders? Thank you,

Expert Reply:

You wouldn't need to jack the truck up to engage and disengage the Stableloads like part # TLA7310. There shouldn't be enough load in the suspension of the truck to cause the StableLoad to not be able to engage/disengage.

Now if your truck was loaded down and the suspension compressed pretty far you would have to find a way to unload the suspension enough to turn the pivot bolt.
