Not true, the idea of the torsion bars on the equilizer hitch is to remove excess tongue weight. Not to remove all weight off the hitch. It also prevents excessive weight from being shifted to the tongue when traveling down bumpy and uneven roads.. If properly loade you can keep the tongue weight to the ideal weight and the air bags don't have to air up as much, or hold as much weight. Also the air bags cannot compensate for bumps and sudden shifts of weight as you travel down the road @ 60 mph. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Now, I do take offense here. What exactly is the comment of mine you are referring to as being not true.
You have made my point greatly. The object of torsion bars is to remove EXCESS tongue weight. With the H2, you either have the load improperly loaded or overloaded simply due to the GCWR.
And your comments about the air suspension is way off base. The air adjusts to the weight to keep the body of the truck level. It does not turn on and off through the course of driving from bumps and dips in the road. No more than it does that w/o a trailer. The system is not an instantaneous reponse, it is strictly for rear leveling. So that comments is just not apart of this.
I am tired of beating a dead horse on this issue. Do what you guys want to do, it's your stuff.
