We know that unless somebody is setting the rig up to pull the nose heaviest trailer possible, weight on front axle will not go up much. This means the suspension travel will stay near same.
What about steering travel? With a trailer, to avoid hitting things on the inside of turn with trailer the TV will start to turn late, but turn sharper, compared to same corner W/O trailer. And backing? Most drivers oversteer. Could this account for the increased wear you see?

I had a 70 2500 ford with the twin I beam front end. compare that to any new truck. I think I know the best would be a newer model of any brand.

I was comparing the 05 3500 to the 07 3500 to make the case that the gooseneck is the root cause of more front suspension work on the 07.

i think the aisin must be pretty reliable as well over 90% of the posts have nothing to do with the subject.
my coffee creamer went bad before the expiration date.

They are. The AISIN has been used for many years in many Medium Duty applications in several different brands.
My son's friend was at "Rednecks With Paychecks" a month ago in TX. He took his 3500 RAM/Cummins/AISIN thru many of the mud bogs. Completely smoked his AISIN. Guess they need the cooler that was completely clogged with mud.
