Center of Gravity Question
I enjoy driving my 2004.5 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab SRW Diesel 4x4 shortbox to many offroad (remote) places. The truck is equipped with airbags as well as super-springs. Stock lift. Sold my 2,000#...

gbw, woodhog, dadwolf2, and others: Thanks for your valuable comments! It gives me more confidence. The camper I am looking at is a Northern Lite 8'-11" Queen Classic Special, not many around where I am so trying to vet this application "sight unseen." My truck has stock aluminum 17" wheels, and 285/70R 17 E-range tires.
I plan installing "smart" tire pressure sensors (with Bluetooth) to provide monitoring of air pressure.
I've read elsewhere front axle has issues. I've replaced the OEM front ball joints (upper and lower) at ~95K miles; and added grease nipples to allow better grease servicing and so far they (~75K miles) are OK. Also added Timbrens to the front spring stops. The stabilizer link bushings are shot and that is another upgrade yet to come. I've never had the "death wobble" experience but certainly aware of it.
