Looks like a decent deal I forget what we paid for ours.

I installed it (took about 10 minutes) and took the rig for a test drive. I immediately noticed a difference in the way that the truck felt. I can go over dips without noticing as much difference as before.

We only drove one time without but we noticed the front end wasn't up in the air like it was on the way home after buying.

I tried a hard stop from 50MPH and was shocked that my front wheels skidded (note that I have never done this before). However, I then removed the spring bars and tried the same panic stop, in exactly the same speed and place. The skid was worse and I lost steering. I sorta hate to open the TM now. I hope everything isn't upside down in there, as I normally don't drive like that.

May not be upside down but it sure is towards the front if it isn't bolted down LOL. WOW I never even thought of trying to loose control on purpose ROFL Good info though

I will follow up in a few weeks after we complete our next camping trip.

It will be a testament to build quality if your TM holds up to your test LOL just picking on you!!!
