Suspension ungrade

[topcat]

I have installed a set of airbags and this helped a whole lot on truck sway,with my Lance on top. My question now is should I leave it along,or install a set of Super Springs to aid in truck sway even more. I think some have said that one nulls the other or the bags are render unless with the spring upgrade or one fights the other. Sounds confusing. Thought's

I see you're running Carli Suspension. Did Sage valve the shocks for your application? If not,he's the man to talk to.

Your Lance overwhelms that Bilstein series. I'm running Lorenz' 2. 25 Sway a Way's with my 2000# popup and they are adequate. Sean tightened up the rebound on the rears which helped a lot,plus I've got Carli's airbags. I'd contact Sage and talk it over. He designed a system for my buddy's srw '07 that has a flatbed mounted Phoenix 9' popup. That thing handles like a sportscar on the highway,yet rides great offroad also. We have your identical '07 regcab,but do have a lower center of gravity with our popups.

Gee,I don't think so the airbag system really works good with the shocks,its just looking to tighten up the sway,I ordered a swaybar from Helliwig. Thanks Regcabguy for your help.

A cheap option for sway control also is the Rancho 9000's. I had them on the rear only on my '98. 5(same camper as I've got now) and they do provide a lot of control. My camper rarely comes off,so my suspension is geared for that. I imagine your Lance comes off when not in use. I had a swaybar on the '98. 5 and it does help. The Hellwig offering is slightly stouter so it will definitely help you. Make sure you're running E rated tires also. You've got a lot of mass there to maintain.
