This is a logical approach, but here is MY dilemma. I am going to be driving to pick up the camper I eventually choose. It will be empty, so should be in the dry weight range of 3,500 lbs. This is right at my GVWR and falls within the specs of my current wheels and tires. Should I roll the dice and bring the camper home with NO mods (stock OEM shocks, no rear sway bar, no Stable Loads?)
I would start with a rear anti-sway bar.
I thought you already had Stable Loads??
No sir, my 2011 Ford F350 I just purchased is stock. My plan is to upgrade to 19.5 wheels/tires to give me 4,500 lbs each wheel/tire. Then I was thinking Stable Loads, Hellwig, and Rancho 9000's. Would love to do one step at a time in case I don't need all, but if I have to drive a distance to pick up a camper, not sure I have that luxury.
Sorry I confused you with the OP.
Rancho 9000's are VERY over-rated, I have ran them on multiple rigs and now run non-adjustable Bilstein 5100's with better performance.
I would start with airbags and a anti-sway bar, go from there.
You will like the 19.5's, great setup!
