when we bought our B+ we took it on a quick trip. It handled atrociously and road hard. Turns out tires were aired too high, and rear airbags were empty. Tire shops would not let me air them and they did not have a air hose for a dually setup.
The rig drifted left and right and was a PIA. Got it home aired up the tires to about 65 in front 70 rears took it out and still too hard. aired down 60 front and kept 70 in rears, aired up airbags to 50psi and again took it out. Much improved from high air settings. Ours weight 12500 or so empty. so probably around 13500 when loaded. we run empty black and gray tanks, full lp, and about 1/4 tank of water. air up air bags to 60 and ride is much better. You will need to experiment some to find best configuration. Can find it empty then modify when loaded. lots of folks have their own ideas, I just shared mine with you. dont spend $$ needlessly experiment first.
Thanks for the input. That's exactly what I plan to do.... get some weights, get an inflation pressure, and tweak as needed. Only if the ride is still horrific will I proceed to more expensive options.
