I ordered the Hellwig rear anti sway bar and aluminum torklift tie downs. It was disappointing to learn that the rancho shocks are motorcraft actually. I may seek Bilstiens again depending how it rides. As far as the putting the camper in...NO I have not yet. Need the tie downs and anti sway 1st.
Interesting...I called Lance customer service, and Cory said all I would need is airbags. I asked him if he ever drove a camper around and he said no, but I'm in the business. I had a chuckle and that's why I am asking you good people for input. So next step is to install the items I ordered and then load and drive it a bit short distance and see. I had firestone air bags before and valved separate. I see some folks tie the two together for ease of adjustment. I can't see that being good for side to side sway. Any thoughts on that?
Grit dog gave you solid advice. Mine is....drive it and see how how you feel. I think a lot of folks "think" they need all the mods when sometimes....airbags gets it done. Or, you need more. Everyone is different including the guys that dump the srw and go to a drw setup.
Me...I tried it bone stock, drove 5 miles and turned around. NOPE! Added lower stableloads. It worked, not super great but vast improvements over stock. Added bags since I was towing and it wasn't level with a full load. Works really good! Added 19.5's and MAN....that was IT! But I bought a large boat so....adding a big wig sway bar and I'm done. Lots of money sure....but cheaper than a new truck. Point is, add mods to your comfort level.
Oh and my bags are separate and I put different amounts of air as the TC is heavier on the driver side, I like the adjustability.
