Roadmaster Active Suspension


Recommended Posts

Posted

3/4 and 1 ton trucks need all the help they can get - and this is the ticket - helps great on corner sway, adjusts to loads and  prevents hop and bounce - the difference is obvious right from the first corner. These are the sway bars that we can't get.

Easy install, if you have the tools, Sears is very happy with me - needed a very large 1/2 socket wrench and 15/16 socket to get the U bolts loose. Wish I had an impact wrench/compressor.

Another plus, I sweated off 5+ lbs doing the install in 99 degree weather. :D

You can get an electric impact wrench from www.notherntool.com or  www.harborfreight.com to accomplish many tasks and not need the compressor. $49 and up

I've got one of the ones from Northern.  Not sure you would want to do too much suspension work with it.  I am spoiled by my Craftsman 600 ft/lb unit.

Thanks for the recommendation btw!  That's what I was waiting on.

If you think that is good, took it to the track tonite 88+ degrees, ran twice, 14.95, made a difference for sure, last week, same temp/humidity 15.2 - sort of a caltrac for the big trucks :D

 

And the trip there and back was like riding on velvet, I am impressed :D

 

BTW, beat 2 out of 2, left when the nitrous guys showed up.  :blush:
