As a truck owner, you rely on your vehicle for various tasks, from daily commuting to heavy-duty hauling and off-road adventures. Your truck's suspension system is crucial to maintaining a smooth ride, ensuring stability, and handling loads effectively. Over time, you may notice signs indicating that your truck's suspension needs upgrading. In this post, we'll discuss the common signs to watch out for and how upgrading to Torklift StableLoad® suspension stabilizers can enhance your truck's performance and safety.

1. Sagging or Uneven Ride Height

One of the most noticeable signs that your truck's suspension needs attention is sagging or an uneven ride height, especially when carrying a load. If the rear of your truck sits significantly lower than the front, it could indicate that your suspension is struggling to handle the weight. This not only affects your truck's appearance but can also lead to poor handling and increased wear on other components.

2. Excessive Bouncing or Rough Ride

A healthy suspension system absorbs bumps and vibrations, providing a smooth and comfortable ride. If you notice your truck bouncing excessively after hitting a bump or feeling every pothole in the road, it could be a sign that your suspension components, such as shocks or leaf springs, are worn out or insufficient for your needs. This is especially common when carrying heavy loads or towing.

3. Poor Handling and Steering Control

A truck with an inadequate suspension system may suffer from poor handling and steering control. If your truck feels unstable, sways excessively in turns, or drifts from side to side on the road, these are red flags that your suspension is not maintaining proper contact between the tires and the road. This can lead to unsafe driving conditions and increased risk of accidents.

Upgrade Your Suspension with StableLoads

If you're experiencing any of these signs, it may be time to upgrade your truck's suspension. Torklift International's StableLoad® Suspension Upgrade offers an innovative solution to improve your truck's handling, stability, and overall ride quality. Designed to work with your factory leaf spring suspension system, StableLoad® suspension stabilizers engage the vehicle's overload lower springs, providing additional support when needed.

The StableLoad® suspension upgrade is the only overload suspension system that follows the two major truck manufacturing laws of suspension:

• Law 1: Must be uncompromisingly comfortable as a passenger vehicle
• Law 2: Must ride safely without compromising comfort while towing and hauling

Benefits of StableLoad® Suspension Upgrade:

• Improved Ride Quality: The StableLoad® Suspension Upgrade helps reduce excessive bouncing and sway, delivering a smoother and more comfortable ride, even when carrying heavy loads.
• Durable Construction: The StableLoad® suspension stabilizers are crafted out of durable stainless steel. Our engineers meticulously crafted this product to withstand the elements and resist corrosion. 
• Enhanced Stability: By engaging the overload leaf springs, the StableLoad® improves handling and reduce body roll, providing greater control and confidence on the road.
• Easy Installation: The StableLoad® Suspension Upgrade is designed for quick and easy installation, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of upgraded suspension without the hassle.

Upgrading your truck's suspension is essential for maintaining performance, safety, and comfort, especially when dealing with heavy loads or demanding driving conditions. Keep an eye out for the common signs mentioned above and upgrade to Torklift StableLoads®. With the Torklift StableLoad®, you'll experience a better ride, enhanced stability, and peace of mind on every journey.

When you think of anchor points in your truck bed, your mind might immediately go to securing a truck camper.

• Unbeatable Payload Capabilities: Each payload anchor point is rated for up to 2,000lbs.
• Enhanced Stability: This tie down solution connects directly to the strongest part of the truck: the frame. This ensures a solid and dependable attach point for your load.

Beyond Truck Campers: ApexAnchors Versatility

While the ApexAnchors system is an excellent choice for securing a truck camper, its uses extend far beyond that. Here are a few examples of how you can take advantage of these anchors in your everyday hauling needs:

1. Sled Decks and SXS Ramps: If you’re into snowmobiling or off-roading, you can use ApexAnchors points to secure sled decks or SXS ramps directly to your truck bed. These bolt-on designs mount securely and can be adjusted with hand-crank turnbuckles, ensuring your gear remains stable during transport.

When it comes to towing heavy loads, safety and reliability are paramount. Many people are aware of the Torklift SuperTruss Extension, which is designed to work with the SUPER HITCH® to provide the highest towing capabilities in the industry. However, a question that often comes up is, "Can I build my own SuperTruss?" While it might seem like a straightforward task for a skilled DIY enthusiast, the reality is far more complex.

Why You Shouldn't Build Your Own SuperTruss

The SuperTruss Extension is not just any hitch extender; it’s a highly specialized product engineered to meet rigorous safety and performance standards. The design and materials used in the SuperTruss are critical to ensuring it can handle the extreme forces involved in towing heavy loads, especially when using a truck camper that requires a significant extension beyond the rear of the vehicle.

Building your own version of the SuperTruss could lead to catastrophic failure. Here’s why:

1. Precision Engineering: The SuperTruss hitch extension is designed with exact specifications in mind, including material thickness, structural reinforcement, and welding techniques. These aspects are crucial in ensuring that the extension can handle the advertised weight capacities.
2. Material Quality: Torklift uses high-grade steel and other materials that have been tested for strength and durability. Using inferior or incorrect materials could result in the extension bending, breaking, or failing under load.
3. Safety Testing: The SuperTruss hitch extender undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it can handle the stresses of towing. This includes real-world testing under extreme conditions, something that a DIY project would not be able to replicate.

The SUPER HITCH and SuperTruss: A Perfect Pair

One of the key reasons the SuperTruss hitch extender is so effective is its compatibility with the Torklift SUPER HITCH. The SUPER HITCH features a patented dual-receiver hitch that is specially designed to distribute the towing load across two points rather than one. This dual-receiver design is crucial for handling the high weight capacities that the SuperTruss is rated for.

Leave It to the Experts

While the idea of building your own SuperTruss might seem appealing from a cost-saving perspective, it’s important to understand that this is not a project that should be taken lightly. The engineering, materials, and safety testing that go into the SuperTruss are what make it a trusted product for towing heavy loads. Without these elements, a DIY version could be dangerous and ineffective.

For those who need to tow heavy loads safely, investing in a Torklift SUPER HITCH and SuperTruss is the only way to ensure that your equipment is up to the task. Don’t compromise on safety—trust the experts who have designed these products with your towing needs in mind.

So, you've packed your camper, double-checked your route, and even remembered the marshmallows. But have you thought about your turnbuckles? Because if those aren’t set correctly, your camper might decide to start its own adventure... without you. After you've selected turnbuckles for your truck camper, it's crucial that the turnbuckles are installed and adjusted properly. Because, let's face it, nobody wants their camper to make a dramatic exit off the truck bed. A very important aspect of installing turnbuckles on a camper is applying the correct amount of tension. Proper tension on a turnbuckle is designed to correctly connect the truck camper tie downs to the truck camper anchor points and protect your camper and anchor points from damage.

How do you know how to find the proper tension on a truck bed camper turnbuckle?

Wondering how to find the perfect tension for your truck camper turnbuckle? Camper manufacturers recommend a precise 300 pounds of tension for securing your camper. Thankfully, you don’t need to become a human calculator. Just use our patented spring tension indicator with FastGun, SpringLoad XL, or AnchorGuard Derringer turnbuckles, and you’ll have the right tension without breaking a sweat.

 Black FastGun turnbuckle (S9529)

If there’s not enough tension, you might just experience the thrill of losing your camper—or watching it do a little dance within the truck bed. And if there's too much tension? Well, you might as well start shopping for new anchor points. Torklift turnbuckles are spring-loaded to avoid any potential damage to tie downs or camper anchor points.

 Example of damage to camper anchor point

Avoid damage to your camper and truck by using spring-loaded turnbuckles with the proper amount of tension applied. Torklift’s patented spring tension indicator is a round O-ring used as a gauge to set your spring tension.

Spring Tension Indicator on FastGun Turnbuckle

Follow these 8 easy steps to determine the correct turnbuckle tension with a Torklift International FastGun turnbuckle:

1. Hang the FastGun truck camper turnbuckle upper hook from the camper anchor point.
2. Adjust the threaded hook bolt so the bottom of it is approximately 1/2 inch above the tie down insert (The handle on the FastGun turnbuckle should be in closed position).
3. Open the handle on the FastGun turnbuckle.
4. Hook the bottom hook bolt into the tie down anchor point.
5. Pull the lever handle down until you begin to feel spring tension. Hint: The hole for the snapper pin should be nearly blocked halfway.

6. Adjust the round O-ring up against the bottom of the FastGun turnbuckle.
7. Snap down the FastGun handle.

8. Snapping the handle down should result in the round O-ring being spaced approximately 1/4 inch below the body of the FastGun turnbuckle.

Spring tension indicator on FastGun turnbuckle

The ¼ inch space visible between the O-ring and the body of the turnbuckle indicates the internal spring within the turnbuckle is activated and compressed. You have now achieved the proper 300 pounds of tension.

Now that you’ve successfully secured the camper turnbuckles, avoid stolen turnbuckles by securing them with the FastGun turnbuckle locks. With a keyed-alike snap lock design, they come in a set of four and have weather caps to protect from debris. Because nothing says 'bad day' like discovering your perfectly tensioned turnbuckles are missing.

By following these 8 simple steps, your camper is now securely fastened and won’t be making any unscheduled exits from the truck bed. Enjoy your journey and remember, the only thing more fun than a secure camper is a secure camper with a lock on it. Because, let’s face it, the only thing worse than losing your camper is the look on your face when you realize it’s gone.

At Torklift International, we are dedicated to enhancing the adventure experience for truck camper owners and outdoor enthusiasts. We are thrilled to announce the launch of our latest innovation—the ApexAnchors Internal Frame-Mounted Payload Anchor system paired with newly design turnbuckles. This cutting-edge product is set to revolutionize how you secure your truck camper, providing unparalleled stability and security.

The ApexAnchors Payload Anchor Advantage

The ApexAnchors Internal Frame-Mounted Payload Anchor system is designed specifically for truck camper owners with campers that have internal anchor points. Brands such as Scout, Cirrus, Four Wheel Campers, and Travel Lite will benefit immensely from this new system. Instead of mounting these truck campers to the cargo anchor points installed to the truck bed by the truck manufacturer, which are inadequate for long-term, heavy-duty use, our payload anchors mount directly to the truck's frame which is the strongest part of the truck. This allows for increased stability that will minimize camper shift during transit, which can cause irreversible damage to your truck and camper. Excess stress on your camper to lead to loss of structural integrity of your camper roof.

Why Upgrade from Cargo Anchor Points?

Standard cargo anchor points, provided by truck manufacturers, are intended for light and temporary use – such as hauling a playground set home from Home Depot or a dresser you picked up from a garage sale. These points are usually not weight-rated and are installed directly onto the truck bed (made of aluminum, plastic, or composite), which is not designed to bear significant, dynamic loads over prolonged periods. In contrast, Torklift's maximum payload anchor point system offers heavy-duty anchor points bolted directly to the truck's frame and are designed to haul the payload capacity of your truck. This ensures they can handle substantial loads with a high center of gravity, like a truck camper, providing a secure and reliable connection.

Key Features of the ApexAnchors System

1. Concealable Design: The ApexAnchors Payload Anchor System is designed to be as concealed as possible. They are retractable when not in use, allowing your truck bed to maintain maximum functionality.
2. Unbeatable Payload Capabilities: These heavy-duty payload anchor points are bolted directly to the truck frame (the foundation of the truck) allowing you to haul heavy, dynamic loads without fear of damaging the standard factory cargo anchor points. Each payload anchor point is rated for up to 2,000 lbs.
3. Enhanced Stability: Our innovative internal payload anchor solution connects through the truck bed directly to the frame, offering solid and dependable anchor points for your truck camper, preventing camper shift which can cause damage to your camper roof.
4. TRUE Frame-Mounted Design: This payload anchor design passes through the bed and is bolted directly to the frame, the foundation of the truck. It does not rely on the truck bed, which is limited in capability due to its plastic, composite, or thin metal construction.
5. Easy Installation: The ApexAnchors Payload Anchor system features a straightforward installation process, allowing you to set up your truck camper quickly and efficiently. The simple, bolt-on design ensures you spend less time installing and more time on the road or off it.

Ready to Enhance Your Camping Experience?

The ApexAnchors Payload Anchor system is now available for purchase. Visit torkliftcentral.com to find your fit and purchase today. As we continue to expand our offerings, our goal remains the same: to make your camping experiences unforgettable.

RV life is about the open road, big skies, and the freedom to explore, with lots of laughs and s’mores along the way. But for Jeanne and Jerred, the dynamic duo behind @roadtripswiththebaileys, one little slip turned their world upside down – literally!

Whoops-a-Daisy on the RV Steps!

Jeanne, in full super-mom mode, was zooming out the RV door when the unthinkable happened. "One day, I was hurrying out of the door chasing my kiddos, and I missed that last step, went tumbling, and sprained my ankle really really bad, laying me up for two to three months (and possibly more), right during the busiest season of the year!" This accident highlighted a critical issue that many don't consider until it's too late, the dangers of factory RV steps.

Torklift Steps In

When we heard about Jeanne’s unfortunate experience, we knew we had to help. Known for our commitment to safety and quality, we offered the Bailey family an upgrade to our GlowStep Revolution® steps. These steps are designed not just to provide access but to ensure stability and safety, no matter where your travels take you.

A New Chapter of Safe Steps

The Baileys were thrilled with the new installation. The GlowStep Revolution® steps are a significant upgrade over their previous setup. Jeanne explains, "Our SmartStep® GlowStep Revolution® RV steps are so much safer and more stable than our old steps. They adapt to our surroundings to provide a consistent connection from the door to the ground, no matter how flat or uneven the site is. They are steady and strong upon entry and exiting the RV, minimizing the movement of the trailer when we're coming in and out. It's much easier to navigate these steps after falling off of our old steps and injuring my ankle. Thank you Torklift!"

Why Choose GlowStep Revolution®?

The Torklift GlowStep Revolution® steps are designed with the user in mind. They feature infinite adjustability and an Earth to RV connection, which adapt to various terrains and provide a firm, reliable foundation. This adaptability is crucial for maintaining safety in the diverse environments RV enthusiasts find themselves in. Additionally, the steps include a glow-in-the-dark safety feature, which enhances visibility during nighttime use—an essential for any RV owner.

Safety as a Priority

The Bailey’s tale isn't just a story about a mishap; it's a testament to keeping the good times rolling safely. Thanks to the GlowStep Revolution®, the Bailey family can now enjoy their travels with peace of mind, knowing that their steps are secure and reliable. For RV owners everywhere, this story is not just about a product but about the importance of safety and the impact of choosing the right equipment for your traveling home.

Now, who’s ready to step up their RV game with Torklift?

At Torklift, we believe in the power of partnership, especially when it comes to supporting causes close to our hearts. That's why we're proud to present our collaboration with Trenor and Barbara Tilley, co-presidents of British Columbia Airstream Club International Unit #121, for the upcoming Region 10 Airstream Rally in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho, later in May.

The Region 10 Airstream Rally is not just another event on the calendar; it's a gathering of passionate Airstream enthusiasts from all walks of life. In fact, this rally is so popular that tickets sold out in less than an hour! But beyond the camaraderie and shared love for adventure, this year's rally holds special significance as it aims to make a positive impact in the local community.

One of the highlights of the rally is a silent auction organized to raise funds Union Gospel Mission whose mission is to provide support to women and children in need.  We are excited to be a part of this initiative and contribute to a cause that empowers and uplifts women and children in need.

Our partnership with Trenor and Barbara Tilley stems from a chance encounter at the Seattle RV Show back in February 2023. After attending one of our seminars and winning a prize, they visited our location at Torklift Central to explore our products further. Their decision to install a TailoredHitch for their Airstream to haul their eBikes marked the beginning of this relationship.

Since then, Trenor and Barbara have been thrilled with the exceptional service and quality products they've experienced with Torklift. It's this genuine satisfaction and trust in our brand that led them to seek partnership with us for the Region 10 Airstream Rally. And needless to say, we couldn't be more honored to join forces with such passionate advocates for the Airstream community.

Are you considering upgrading your Bambi Airstream trailer to lithium batteries? If so, it's crucial to ensure that your battery box is up to the task of housing these advanced power sources. The Torklift PowerArmor Lithium battery box, specifically designed to accommodate the needs of lithium batteries in Airstream trailers like the Bambi series, and is a must-have for staying powered up while on the road.

Why Upgrade to Lithium Batteries?

Before we discuss the benefits of the PowerArmor Lithium battery box, let's briefly touch on why upgrading to lithium batteries is advantageous for your Bambi Airstream trailer. Lithium batteries offer several compelling benefits over traditional lead-acid batteries, including:

1. Longer Lifespan: Lithium batteries typically last much longer than lead-acid batteries, with some models boasting a lifespan of up to 10 years or more.
2. Higher Energy Density: Lithium batteries pack more energy into a smaller and lighter package compared to lead-acid batteries, making them ideal for RV applications where space and weight are at a premium.
3. Faster Charging: Lithium batteries can accept charge at a faster rate than lead-acid batteries, allowing you to recharge your batteries more quickly, especially when coupled with advanced charging systems.
4. Deeper Discharge Capability: Lithium batteries can be discharged to a much lower state of charge than lead-acid batteries without causing damage, giving you access to more usable capacity.

The Benefits of the Torklift PowerArmor Lithium Battery Box

Now that we understand the advantages of upgrading to lithium batteries, let's explore why the Torklift PowerArmor Lithium battery box is the perfect companion for your Bambi Airstream trailer:

1. Rugged Construction: The PowerArmor Lithium is built to withstand the rigors of RV travel. This battery box provides superior protection for your valuable lithium batteries against road debris, impacts, and the elements.
2. Integrated Locking Mechanism: Security is paramount when it comes to protecting your investment. The PowerArmor Lithium features an integrated lock to secure your batteries and deter theft, providing peace of mind whether you're on the road or parked at a campsite.
3. Ventilation and Drainage: Proper ventilation and drainage are essential for maintaining the health and performance of your lithium batteries. The PowerArmor Lithium is designed with ventilation louvers and a built-in drain to ensure adequate airflow and prevent the buildup of moisture, prolonging the life of your batteries.
4. Easy Installation: Installing the PowerArmor Lithium is a breeze, thanks to its user-friendly design and compatibility with standard battery box mounting systems. With minimal tools and effort, you can upgrade your battery box and start enjoying the benefits of lithium power in no time.

Upgrading your Bambi Airstream trailer to lithium batteries offers numerous advantages in terms of performance, longevity, and convenience. However, it's essential to pair your lithium batteries with a high-quality battery box that can provide the protection and security they deserve. The Torklift PowerArmor Lithium battery box excels in these areas, offering rugged construction, integrated security features, proper ventilation, and customizable fitment to ensure optimal performance and peace of mind on your RV adventures. Make the switch to the PowerArmor Lithium and elevate your Airstream experience to new heights.
