We have the Isolator, and to be frank and honest, on some of the really bad concrete roads, we still get some of the rubber band effect. It is annoying to say the least. We have pulled over to the left lane, and let them pass us on the right, the left sometimes (NOT ALWAYS) has less of the rubber band effect. We have adjusted speed, on I 90 here last week, around Austin Minnesota, we were down to ohhhh, 45 MPH and still banding something awful. We have found some US roads and back roads to do the same, 218 coming out of Austin to Osage Iowa was particularly nasty! But, Steve R. is right, the less I roads you take, the better.

We will never own a 5er without some kind of air pin or hitch. We love the Isolator, as many of you know, the movement of interior items has reduced ohhhh, 90 % or more, and the ride in the truck is so much improved. We also improved ride a LOT when we ditched the OEM shocks and put on the Billsteins. As much as our ride has been improved, a real bad road with real bad rubber banding still causes us some distress.
