Have you compared the weight of all this wood to what you removed? Kinda curious about how the whole weight, and weight distribution, is going to work out on that chassis and engine. Any upgrades there you'll need to consider, such as shocks, axles, tires, transmission, toad towing capacity, etc?
I have weighed a bunch of stuff that I took out, that I know won't be going back, so that has created some weight savings.
That allows me to use
some heavier items going back in. I want to weigh this on a scale before putting a lot of heavier items back in, just to be sure where the weights are.,
I'll have to weigh each corner, to know exactly. Weighing an axle at a time and dividing by 2 doesn't give a real indication of where exact corner weights are.
I don't think I'll need any chassis upgrades, as I don't think it will be heavier than what it was.
This has air bags both front and rear, and I have never had to run them full of air, so it should be fine with the current suspension.
As a side note, I did find a drastic difference in handling between having very little air in the air bags, as opposed to having them properly inflated. The difference was night and day when being passed by a truck or in high cross winds.
