I put the 1ton front end in my coach. On my first trip with it installed I noticed on hard acceleration it seems to shudder going into 2nd on a hard shift at full throttle. The main problem I see is after traveling 600 miles going up a steep grade about an 8 to 10 % grade in low gear with my Toyota in tow the front end gets real squirley like it is coming off the ground and out of control . It didn't have this problem with the stock front end on this same road under the same conditions. Peter Uber mentioned he had a similar problem with his before he lost his coach. Can the ride height be modified to stop this or is this the way it will always be? This is not a nice thing , I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to get to my brothers house.
