Good job showing the exact locations of the brackets and bolts. I plan on doing this mod tomorrow, and also have new shocks and the Safe-T-Plus arriving within a few days. Hopefully with all that done (plus the new set of front tires I'm getting) it will be a fun, and more safe rig to drive.
Probably no video. I'm doing 3 things at once, trying to beat the cold weather, and also have some other jobs pending. There are some good videos on the Safe-T-Plus installation. Seems pretty easy. Went to Harbor Freight an hour ago to get a large socket set. Probably use my pneumatic impact wrench to make things go a little easier.
Grumpy Oldman, I agree and plan on doing that in the near future. Currently we are sitting in for the winter in southern New Mexico but before we leave in the spring it will be done. Thanks!!
True. The gusts are very dangerous but the regional winds can be bad too, especially here in New Mexico. I just had a strong gust the other day driving down to Mexico. The difference was markedly better than the first time it happened to me. If you’re driving a semi you might have a better chance of one already being installed.
The Safe-T-Plus would not prevent that type of sudden movement. Remember the class A, class C's rigs are a very large sail going down the road, there is a lot of square foot frontal area for the wind and the wind gusts to hit. Safe-T-Plus, RoadMaster, Bilstein, steering stabilizers do a good job to steer back to center and will mitigate air push from vehicles.
The Casual RV'er, if true that is bad to hear. It’s main job is tire blowout as I understand it. That alone is worth it if they work as advertised. Everything else is gravy on it. Back to the sudden moment, I would have to think it would at least help it some but I could be wrong.
Interesting...I just watched 2 videos of people shifting the bolts to the holes you just shifted from. Maybe that's why your results aren't what you were expecting?
I've seen it done both ways in the videos, which initially was confusing.However, the default position from the factory is the way mine was before the change. Also, the fact that there were improvements verifies (to me) that it was the correct procedure on mine. If i am wrong then I am still leaving it as is because I don't want the rig handling the way it used to. Ultimately the solution is the Safe-t-plus, which i'll get when I have the cash saved up for it.

Danny Russo !!!! I am so jealous right now! Best of luck with the install. Are you going to video it? I would love to see.

@@dannyrusso8279 I'd have loved an impact wrench at the time. Do you have a way of lifting the rig to get under?
@@allaboutthejourney488 I'll use my homemade wood ramps I made using 2x8's. Only about 8" high, but it should give enough clearance.
Changing the bushings from stock rubber to polyurethane also helps - costs a bit but rolls even less

Been driving a semi for 35 years nothing you can do about the wind gusts. When windy it’s always both hands on the wheel for me
