Batteries making my rig lean?
So...took the rig for a little drive after I got 3x220AH batteries into the newly welded box, which is a little over 500lbs added to the driver's side. Alignment was a little off.
Took it on a longer trip to CW for some warranty work (house door replaced) with my wife following, and she said it was leaning to the left enough for her to notice it. It also felt less stable like it was swerving a little, but it was very windy here in Colorado so that's not an uncommon feeling. The wind also could have made the lean worse but I suspect that was more due to the extra weight on one side.
What are the considerations for this? Any danger? I plan to get the alignment fixed shortly, and if the lean is bad enough maybe I'll add a leaf to that suspension or something.
I'm driving from CO to VA early next month so I don't really have time for significant work before I head out. If it's an issue, I'll just take a battery out to balance the weight until I get to VA.
Thanks!
