My truck runs full gross 80 percent of the time and there is usually just about 18-20k on the steer axle. I can not say anything as to how their shocks would be on the drive axles as I usually have 50k sitting in a 18 foot box on top and eat through rear suspension like candy so I could not justify the expense on the drives but after years of trying to get the steer axle to to handle better I finally bit the bullet and purchased the Road Kings last year after I had the entire front end rebuilt and it still felt the same.

The difference for me was huge. It stopped the steering wheel bounce and side to side movement that I would get when loaded and it seems to help the tires wear more evenly.. So for the Steer tires I would recommend it to anyone who runs 20k axles but for not much more money I believe you can get air bag kits which might do the same if not better.. I guess what I am trying to say is that they worked for my application and I will be putting a set on the steer axle of my W900 Tractor here in a month or so...

Did you get the normal ones or Thier heavy haul ones!
