Hi,

I recently upgraded my trailer to a bigger one with 30' and 7000 lb.
I noticed bouncing while driving and am considering a suspension enhancement system.

Did some researches and like RAS and StableLoad.
Wanted to hear some recommendations. Which one is better?

 

Prior to a suspension enhancement system, let's talk about the truck and wdh you are using? How about specs on the truck, Payload per the yellow sticker, and better details on the trailer.

 

The stable loads are used a lot in 3/4 and 1 tons. The trailer forums have a lot about them. People talk very highly of them and the only negative thing I ever heard was they can rattle a bit when disengage. But they say with AT tires or the windows shut you hear them if the do make a rattle noise but most say they are super quiet. Stable loads are going on my next truck. Super simple non breakable proven system .

 

I'm also thinking about the stableloads right now. My towing experience isn't bad, but it could feel a little bit more stiff. A certain part is also me just liking the concept behind it and big kid wanting to play around with the truck

I'm seeing a lot of them offered by ebay dealers for less than $200, anyone got experience with this? Are those unbranded knock-offs?

 

My truck is very similar to yours.
It is 2020 Lariat, 502a, SuperCrew 4x4, 3.5 eco, payload 1510, Max Tow. I am using an equalizer 4 points WDH.
The trailer is Cougar 26RBSWE with 6471 dry weight and 2329 loading capacity.
I do not have a plan for a dry site. The 3 tanks are always empty when towing. So the total tailer weight should be around or less than 7k lb.

 

My overload spring has a pre-drilled hole. It looks very easy to install the StableLoad by myself.
But the gap between the leaf spring and overload spring looks very small. I am concerning about the noise event with no load.

A local shop askes $700+ for RAS labor. I do not have the jacks to install it myself.

 

Yes our springs alway ready have a hole drilled. To increase the gap it install if you want to is simple. Just use your jack that came with the truck to change the tires. Jack it up a bit and the gap will open right off as you go up. Just a bit, the tire doesn't even leave the ground.
Only a few say something about possible noise. Google the stable load review on YouTube. Someone did a test before and after installing it on a rented f150. Remarkable improvements in side by side comparison even in cornering body roll. Since you can add or delete shims, most people leave leave them always engaged by not adding additional shims.

 

I have been using the RAS, so far I have been happy. No odd noises, and it handles the load pretty dang good, both trailer and bed. I also went to E rated tires.

 

You have the correct setup, I assume you have the wdh set-up and dialed in? Some roads are terrible to tow on, seems the concrete ones can be harsh and bumpy. If you stiffen up rear end, please come back and give us feedback. Good luck getting it right.

 

Doesn’t bouncing suggest checking out that you’ve got adequate shocks as well?
