Arctic Fox 811
Thinking of purchasing a new 811. I would like to know how high the camper is while on the truck. I would order it with the low profile Mach 8 9K BTU A/C. TV antenna they use now could be higher then ...

Have you ever weighed your truck? Stock tires? I'm looking to move into a single slide truck camper on my 2018 3500 MegaCab also, and I'm trying to decide between a few different models. I really like the 811, I'm just worried about weight.
You'll be well over most/all the published "limits" and under the practical limits, save for OE tires/rims.
Figure 4000-4500lbs depending on full vs empty and how much you load in it. That's what others report from scales and what I've roughly calced from airbag psi to get to origianl ride height.
That said I've hauled AF 860s (same as 811 basically) on OE 17" wheels and now on OE Ram 20" wheels (on my 07 2500 Mega), both with OE Firestones and slightly higher rated tires. All without issue.
I'm aware that I'm at or a little over the tire's rated capacity.
Couple runs cross country, up to AK, all over AK and the western US mountains including plenty of forest roads and dirt roads. Tires have held up fine.
