Their Website Seems To Imply Something Different.......
I did check with gear venders and there unit is for running empty not for towing. I was very surprised when they told me this.
the air bags is needed for my lance 1030.I put it on first due to a back order issue and it squated down to only 1.5 in. of room between the axle and bump stop. my toy hauler is 3750lbs. hitch weight and the air bags keep the head lights level.
Their website doesn't seem to be in agreement with what you were told. Here is an excerpt taken directly from their web page:
"GEAR VENDORS provides overdrive product to racing cars and trucks up to 2000hp and
trucks towing heavy RV's up to 25,000lbs gcvw.
Whether you are trying to move a couple tons up a steep incline or moving just a couple thousand down the track — the fastest way is with the right gearing. Add the benefits of a final overdrive ratio to reduce engine rpm and increase fuel mileage by typically 20-28% and you have a product that is the single biggest innovation you can bolt to your car or truck. With fuel costs high the overdrive can pay for itself in mileage and engine wear reductions."
I will be purchasing one of these units this fall, and it is because of the advantages that this unit provides for towing that I want one..........not to mention the gas mileage increase.:thumb:
