I have a 2007 Hallmark that I hope will fit on my Tremor. The Tremor is so much taller I am hoping I can get it high enough to get the truck under it. Any issues with that? One of my hunting buddies puts concrete block under the jacks to raise it up high enough. TIA ???

For our truck campers over the years, we've used 6x6s left over from a deck build.

Yes, we went with the Torklift lower Stableloads and the Airlift 5000 wireless airbag system. Works good - MOST of our miles on the Tremor have been with this camper onboard and pulling either a SXS or Yamaha Jet boat. No complaints. Considered a sway bar, but don't think we need it after about 12K miles with this combination.

There are some, and I respect those opinions, who don't like/approve of airbags. I can only speak to the fact they've worked for two rigs of ours (Ram 2500/Camplite and now Tremor/NL).

On the first rig we tried many things before we ended up with the airbags. Timbrens, four varieties of shocks (Bilstein 5200s worked the best, Rancho 9000XLs worked but where very harsh at the higher settings), Hellwig Big Wig swaybar (which did work), tires (which again had some positive effect).

In summary, the current setup works well (Sumo's in front, Lower Stableloads & Airbags in the rear).

Would you mind sharing with me the model number for the Torklift‘s and Sumo’s and did you need to drill for the Torklift instal? I am having airbags installed by my Lance dealer and will instal the remainder after I pick up the unit. I have a neighbor who restores classic cars as a hobby and will Likely get his help for the Torklift and sumo instal. Thanks a bunch. I pick up Lance Friday and my first road trip to Tucson will be last week in February.

These are the front Sumos: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CZYVZRF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These are the Stainless Lower Stableloads.... and yes I had to drill. I used a floor jack to maintain/increase pressure with the drill - otherwise it'd take weeks to drill. LOL https://www.etrailer.com/Vehicle-Su...r+Duty/2020/TLA7311S.html?VehicleID=202087510

Another plus of the airbags is that you can use them to take the load off the Stable Loads so you can rotate them to the non-engaged position. When you want to engage them, just put about 85psi in the bags and go rotate the Stableloads to the engaged position, then adjust airbags to your preferred setting. Works for us.

Congrats on the new rig - Truck campers are the bomb!

Looks great! Gonna be a lot of fun. Maybe put some blocks under those stabilizer jacks. Good idea to keep those around 45*. They lose stability all the way extended. Someone will most likely disagree with me. Haha

You may want to consider just going with the upper stable loads. I've had both lowers and uppers and I think the uppers did more even though Torklift recommends trying the lowers first. The uppers are easy to install.

The advantage of the lowers is that they can be disengaged where the uppers are always there so sometimes you hear a slap when empty.

Thanks will start with uppers. Is there a particular sumo for front?

Sorry all my questions were answered further in the thread.

All the goombahs were crammed into the NPS campgrounds like sardines while we were completely isolated. We could barely see one other trailer about 150 yards away. Hopefully there will be a Tremor pulling it in a couple months.

A better pic later in the trip...

I built some 10” square 3 blocks high out of 2x4’s for under the front stabilizers, but still needed to extend all the way to get it level.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

? those stabilizers are not for leveling! Hoping I’m misunderstanding your post. Those stabilizers are for the rocking after you’ve already leveled off at the wheels and chalked the tires. You are gonna go for a ride at some point if you are using those as the brace for the whole trailer weight

Side to side at the wheels and front to back at the hitch. Block your tires and cinch the stabilizer no more then a 45* angle. Then you can use those “tire clamp” things to really lock into place.
