Has anybody installed one of this on a 80's model or newer? Will it help?

I'm kind of paranoic about a tire blow out and loosing control, will this unit help?

Any thoughts are more than welcome.

I think it is a band aid for a poorly designed/ overloaded suspension - your Newell is neither of those. The real FIX is to properly repair/ maintain what you have.

If you are concerned about a front blow-out, put higher load rated tires on. ( I'm going with load range H next time.}

My '87 steers very well with everything tight & properly adjusted.
--When I put new tires on the front, the difference from 95 to 100 psi was like night & day.
--A worn bearing seat on the spindle caused some steering issues.
--Tag axle air bag pressure can have a big influence on stability.

I have been on narrow roads & been forced over the edge of the pavement onto the low shoulder. Not a big deal -IF- you don't try to correct too quickly.

As for blow-outs, the real trick to success has more to luck than anything else.
That said, preventive maintenance & certain reactions require less luck than others. . . .
