Do the TorkLift StableLoads for a 2019 Ford F-350 Effect Unloaded Ride Quality

Question:

Hi I have a 2019 ford f350 srw, Im towing a fifth wheel trailer with 3200 tongue weight, I need to add a little extra stiffness in the rear i would like to use these but Im wondering how will it affect my unloaded ride.

The TorkLift StableLoad Suspension Upgrade part # TLA7200 could engage with your overload leaf spring as soon as they are installed even without any additional weight present depending on your setup which means they will have a negative effect on your unloaded ride quality. That is the downside of stiffening your rear suspension in order to account for added weight.

That said, I do have an option that will provide additional support and won't effect the loaded ride quality. For this, you will want to use the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System part # TFR350SDJ which replace the bump stops on the rear axle and will only engage when a load is present therefore won't effect the unloaded ride quality. These are similarly priced to the StableLoads and they are just as easy to install.
