Every summer I put my RTT up and the handling of my truck goes to crap. I added a leaf. No improvements. I added rear sway bar links and no improvement. I added the airbags and the truck handles corners confidently again with the rtt on. Took about 2ish hours to install. I got the compressor version. Instead of running the wiring to the engine battery I hooked it up to the lighting battery I have in the topper which saved on hassle.
