And I read them all...plus 6-7 other threads on the same topic. Been thinking about these for the moho (Ford chassis), but undecided.

Care to paraphrase what you learned?

LOL....basically, some guys swear by 'em, some guys see no benefit....I'm leaning towards NOT getting them.

I recently purchased a class A gas moho and hated the way it handles in the wind and on corners. I did the “cheap handling fix” by moving the sway bars mounts to the shorter mounting location and it’s amazing how much better it handles now. Not sure if that is what your trying to remedy but it certainly made a world of difference in my fleetwood with the ford chassis. There were 2 locations for sway bar mounts on both front and rear. I only did front and it handles great now

Well this popped up in my Amazon suggestions.
Crazy not to try at this price.
Regular price is $250 American.

Got back from sledding and parts were in.
We'll see how this goes.
Install seems super simple.
Factory bump stops seem hard as eff.
New Billstein shocks are working awesome this season, even on the biggest frost heaves they don't bottom. And ride smooth.

These don't look adjustable? I have air bags and use different amounts of air for load weight differences and road types, like rough roads at slower speeds etc. I can see them working ok for a vehicle that is only ever one weight. Most vehicles that would need need these would have different weights. Like a motorhome with a trailer would run a different air pressure in air bags, than without a trailer. Just seems to me that not being adjustable would be a nightmare. If you're not happy with the ride from air bags, you adjust the air pressure.

Have had airbags they seem to make for a rough ride.
These sound to be more of a progressive rate spring.
We shall see.

I have tried a few different systems. Didn't want the hassle of anything adjustable. Installed the Sumo Springs a couple years a go. Like them a lot. F-350.

I’m interested to hear how these work for you. I had airbags and a compressor in my old truck and have been thinking of putting a kit in this one, but these might be a better answer.

That’s a bump stop isn’t it not an overload

You can get them in different foam densities based on how much load you figure you may need to support.

Made a run with the rig today.
New 400L slip tank full.
Sled deck in box.
4 place in tow.
Pretty impressed with these things so far.
Initial impression are all positives .
- rear end of the truck feels way more stable, almost like driving a dually.
- seems to handle cross winds better.
- ride is buttery smooth, doesn't hammer like when you put a bunch of pressure in the air bags.
- truck sits level with all the extra load.
