I have the 865 on a Ram 3500 and I ran stock suspension for about a year with an occasional high beam check from oncoming traffic. I could hardly tell it was on the back of my truck but I did end up putting a set of lower Stable Loads on the rear springs and that did stop the high beam checks. I would run it stock until you've got a couple trips on it and then evaluate if you need anything extra for the suspension. I weighed our 865 and it was in the 2,600-2,700 lb range loaded and wet, we have no a/c or microwave. We also had a 100 watt solar panel and AGM battery installed at the dealer. Our rear axle load was less than 6,000 lb so our stock tires, 3750 lb load rating, were more than adequate. We are very happy with our 865 and actually put our motorhome up for sale because we enjoy the camper so much that we rarely use the motorhome anymore. We also occasionally flat tow our jeep or pull a trailer with a SXS and ATV on it. It's all good with the 1 ton suspension and diesel power. You will love the convenience of the TC, I know we do!
