When you hook up a trailer, camper, or heavy load, your truck is constantly being put to the test. Without the right load support, it can lead to safety issues, uncomfortable driving, and expensive repairs down the road. Pacbrake is here for you to avoid those situations.
So here are five warning signs you shouldn’t ignore before your next trip to know if your truck needs load support:
____________________________________________________________________________________
1. Sagging Rear End
If your truck sags or squats when hitched, it’s a clear sign that your suspension isn’t keeping up. Pacbrake offers several variations of air suspension kits that can level your truck, restoring balance and stability. We vary depending on if you want an internal jounce bumper for extra security and support up to roughly 7500lbs with our springs.

2. Uneven Tire Wear
Overloaded or sagging trucks often shift weight unevenly onto the rear tires. This leads to premature tire wear—an avoidable expense that can be mitigated with proper load support.

3. Poor Handling and Stability
Excessive sway, body roll, or instability while cornering signals that your suspension is struggling. Air springs are one of the tools you can use to improve control, making every mile safer.

4. Braking Strain
A heavy load without suspension support forces your brakes to do more work. This means more heat, more wear, and longer stopping distances.

5. Driver Fatigue
When your truck constantly pulls or sways, it takes more effort to stay in control. That means you’re more tired on long drives—a serious safety concern when towing.

Bottom line: If you’re experiencing these issues, it’s time to upgrade. Pacbrake load support solutions don’t just protect your truck—they protect you, your cargo, and everyone on the road. Make sure to stay safe and always know that packs got your back!!
