    ATF: Landmark -

The truck is parked in the row in front of us in a much shorter site (at no extra charge). This is a PA park...

    IS installation on LM Augusta

    We will be at MorRyde May 6-7 for the IS, DB and NL Hubs. Question we have is whether to go with 7,000 lb or upgrade to 8,000 lb axle equivalent? It is our understanding that the higher weight will make for rougher ride of the RV. Would appreciate input from others who have already had the IS...
