There are a few people with these and i've heard nothing but excellent reviews about them. Easy to install and improve traction in a big way. Decent price too. I'm thinking about getting a pair myself.

I am looking for something that will assist on my load capacity. To those of you that have these, does it help reduce the tongue weight? If so, by how much? I am towing a 25fter travel trailer with close to 500lbs tongue weight. Has anybody checked out those SuperSprings?

I've had the Roadmasters for about 6 months. The first drive after they were installed there was a big difference. You would think that the ride would be harder but it's the opposite.
They smoothed out ALL the bumps.
I can tow my boat and carry loads better. I am very pleased and reccomend them to any truck.

Got it...luv it....saved $50 on the order cause I got one for my wife's conversion van at the same time. Expect the rear to raise up by about an inch or so.

I've had my Roadmaster only for a few weeks, but I really like it. My wheels hop was eradicated and it stiffened up the rear considerably. The install was super easy and the parts seem to be top quality. The true test of these parts will come this winter, however.
I don't tow and I havn't carried any heavy loads since I've had it installed, so I can not comment about that. Everything else is awesome and you'll love it. I am so far impressed, I will probably install the Roadmaster suspension on any vehicle I own with leaf springs in the future.
I think my pinion angle might be a tad off though, because it's with the Hotchkis leafs and I left all the plates on there. There might be some more traction hiding in there somewhere, maybe I should have removed a plate since they were about the same size, duh.
Kill the wheel hop!

Suspecting that the height would increase by an inch or so with the RAS installed, I left my two bottom plates off...and guess what...it still raised the height by an inch or so. Still works as advertised but I am now curious if the height would have been more by leaving those two plates in place. If not...the little extra help from those two plates would justify their existence.
Anyone do a before and after height measurement during the install?

Sure would like to see post from anyone that has done heavy duty towing with the RAS. Was able to talk to some one in thier Tech. services dept. but for some reason they would not give me any concrete specs regarding load capacities. But from all the favorable posts I have seen so far, it just might be worth the purchase. Lets keep this going. Maybe we can get a good deal on a group buy.
