Getpower1,
The way your truck is SETTING DOWN in rear speaks VOLUMES if you will Listen. Even with air bags and or overloads to level the truck, it is STILL overloaded. You are playing with DISASTER!!!
Your tie downs are still anchored to the BED not the frame - NOT GOOD.
A good welder can build a set of frame tie downs for a third of the cost of Tolklifts. Show him a picture of Tolklifts and see what he can do. Mine did.
"DISASTER"???
Come on bud. The guy who owned the camper before me had the exact same truck as I do to haul it. I'm not saying it was right, but it worked for him all those years. Plus, again, it doesn't have swing out brackets for the front jacks, which means that, since new, the camper was hauled on a single rear wheel truck.
I can admit that it's not confidence inspiring to drive it. I have been on the Bay Bridge with it, and the truck was leaning the whole way across. This was before a sway bar and air bags.
I'm still going to look into a DRW truck. I guess I kind of have to.
As I've been reading through this and seen how adamant everyone is about this subject, I have been reminded of something that I've found out through work. You ever seen a concrete mixer with Super Singles on the two rear axles? It's not a fun piece of equipment to drive, and that's within its weight limits.
