Buying EC1160 - having weight anxiety ...
I know, I know, not another "I'm intentionally overloading my truck - tell me it's OK!" thread, but yeah, that's where I'm going ... sorry! OK, that being said, I'm getting ready to pull the trigge...

Truck Camper Magazine, in their buyers guide, figured 5,735 pounds for a 2015 EC 1160 wet weight.
Nope... Still no where near. 7,200 on the DOT scale by my house.
My AF1150 scaled out at about 5,200 loaded for bear. I could immediately feel the difference the minute I put the EC on, the scale then verified my Butt-O-Meter. Fully 1 ton heavier.
It was only after getting the EC that I then put a lot more money into the truck - Front and rear RoadMaster Sway bars, Rancho 9000's, and StableLoads.
Running an AF1150 I was happy the way the truck was with just my springs. The EC, top heavier than Dolly Parton and the 'ole truck needed some help.
And worth noting - it isn't just the weight, it's almost a foot taller than my AF was due to the floor being over the bed rails.
