Hey everyone, Shane here with etrailer.com. Today I have a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. And I wanna walk you how to install a torklift, stable load suspension enhancement with quick disconnect for your overload spring. You've obviously towed a vehicle or towed trailers in the past, and you have felt some of the effects that a vehicle has that doesn't have suspension enhancement. For instance, body roll, sway and porpoising. Porpoising is when the vehicle bounces and it takes a little bit for it to settle.

Sway is maybe you hit a pothole on one side of the vehicle and the back of the vehicle feels like it's moving. Body roll, it's when your vehicle seems like it's leaning when you're turn a corner. Well, how that happens or how that occurs is the gap between your upper spring pack and your lower overload spring. What happens is when you add weight, your upper spring pack flattens out. Your overload spring kicks in to support your upper spring pack.

Well, it's only gonna support it so much because you're basically supporting four springs with one extra spring. Adding the stable load, allows us to fill the gap between our overload spring and our top spring pack, so that our overload spring engages instantly when we add weight. With the stable load, able to fill the gap between our overload spring and our upper spring pack. This is where you're gonna greatly reduce your body roll, your sway and your porpoising. Now let's compare these to other types of enhancement, for instance, airbags.

Airbags are what a lot of individuals are putting on their vehicles to make their ride quality much better when they're towing a camper or a trailer. Although airbags provides a significant amount of stability when hauling those heavier loads. There are limitations with them. One, they're gonna be more involved with installation. Two, you have to monitor air pressure all the time.

Three, you're gonna have more components with airbags that could potentially fail. Also, this is a 2,500. If we put airbags on here that have a combined weight capacity of 5,000 pounds but the truck can handle more than that, we're limited to what the bags can handle. We're now not able to carry what our vehicle can handle because we're going by, we have to go by what the bags can do. With a stable load, we don't have a limitation other than what the vehicle can handle. With these installed, this is not going to affect our ride quality whatsoever when they're disengaged, because we still maintain our factory gap here. When we're adding a load, we simply pull the pin out. We're gonna take the sire inch with an extension and it won't engage those right into place like that. And what that does again, is it's filling the gap. So now our overload spring engages right away, rather than waiting for our upper springs to flatten out. Re-insert your pin and repeat the process for the three remaining and you're ready to go. With these being a stainless steel construction, we're not gonna have to worry about rust or corrosion. These are also gonna be available in black and you can find those here at etrailer. Before we get to the installation, what we're gonna do is we've got some weight in the back. We've got about 190 gallons which averages out to about 1,590 pounds. We're gonna take it through the test course before we actually install the stable loads so that, we can give you a good idea of what your factory spring pack is doing. How much movement you're getting out of your factory spring pack before your overload spring activates. So I like to use water because water shifts and when it shifts, you get a lot of body roll and a lot of moving out of the vehicle, which was what we want to do. Because we wanna put the products to the test as much as possible. Obviously you can see today, we have a lot of snow, ice. This is not water, it's a big block ice. So we're gonna do the best we can to make sure that we get you the information needed, so you can make a good decision. Here on our test course you will notice as we go over speed bumps with the factory suspension set up under weight, we get a lot of up and down movement which in turn puts a significant amount of strain on the suspension. Here on our slalom course with our factory setup, we'll see a lot of body roll when loaded. Now that we have our stable loads installed, let's go ahead and take it back out on test course and see how it does. Now with the same weight, our stable loads engaged, this section, simulates uneven terrain. You'll notice we are not going to have as much up and down movement, because the factory overload sp
