I use extended bump stops which predates the stable loads. They work for me although obviously, it is possible that a product created specifically for the purpose should work as well.

I have a set of SL and the diff was so good...but then I added a ANTI SWAY rear bar...it is fantastic with both...no Air Bags here! I had AB's on another truck and it added bounce and sway. I'd do AB's last, if at all! Capt PJ

I put in the SL and Timbrens on my F350 dually. So far I like the ride and the way it handles. I didn't come up with the idea, learned it all here.

I agree. Do the Stable Loads first, then air bags if you want them. I did bags first and don't think I really needed them. Stable Loads are great.

I installed Timbrens first but the rear end still sagged about 2 inches. I then installed Stable Loads which eliminated the sag and inproved the handlling and ride. No need for airbags, I am very happy with this combination.

Supersprings also has a product called "Super Sway Stops" that is virtually identical if you are looking for options.

With some kind of spacers like the Stable Loads or Super Sway Stops to get the overload leafs engaging sooner, you probly wont have a need for air bags or other spring help. If not, a second leaf added to the single overload leafs should do the trick and not affect the unloaded ride. Or, add another leaf to the main packs.

My 2006 Dodge 2500 doesn't have the factory top overload springs. Does anyone have an idea of what my options are? I have airbags, but she still rocks and rolls. I've thought about adding the heavy-duty supersprings, and I'm also considering upgrading the shocks to Bilsteins.
Thanks

Do your airbags use a common fill point? If so seperate the air lines and add an air guage to each one then fill equally as the load may not be from side to side combined with a good sway bar most sway with bags should be eliminated.

I carry a Lance 1191 on my 2008 Ford F450 dually. I added Stable Loads to take care of about 4" of sag. Didn't have any sway/roll prior to installation. The SL took care of about half of the sag - two additional leaves in the spring pack took care of the rest and then some.
