I beleive that on a ramp or out the trail they've probably flex right to the bumpstops as normal, which is really weird to me, but I love the extra height they provide, that's for sure. They'd be great for you Brett!

Yeah, I'm gonna really check those out next time I see you-at the next ride I guess. My hitch weight is about 350 to 400 pounds on the camper. If you get a chance, put them at 120 psi and then hook up your trailer empty and then you and your dad stand on the trailer tongue and see how much sag there is then?

In fact I never had it pumped up to 120 psi, just 110 psi and there's no sag at all. Not only that, it's still sitting above level by 1-2" when fully loaded down. I love it! It was such as easy mod to fix my ride quality when towing my bikes. Like I said before, I couldn't break 65 mph before this mod, but now I can drive 75-80 mph comfortably.

The pressure is shared, that way, when one shock is compressed, it forces the other one down. Like he said, there's a valve that way, you can keep them separate when you don't want any sway.

Yup, you can see in the link that the 727's have hoops on both ends. Runners need a stud in the top...
