As far as I know the frame is the same on the 2nd gen Ram 2500 vs. the 3500 so getting the suspension and tires up to the task was my mission.
Run it over the scale with full fuel, fresh water etc and see where you are, you should really work on getting the rear to level out. The 19.5 set up was the icing on the cake for my rig but I got it leveled out first. The Vision 19.5 wheel will make the stance slightly wider.
Sorry, that picture is from the day I picked the camper up. I don't have any recent side shots. It was to show the camper and truck as a whole and the old home made tie downs. I've got airbags. Check my signature. Unfortunately, my truck didn't come with factory overloads or a rear sway bar, the bags level it out. I've driven with the camper on with the bags, but not the sway bar yet. The bags helped sway a lot, but they had to have 80psi in them. I noticed that with 65psi there was significant sway. I can't wait to see what the sway bar does for me. Weighing the rig is on the list. I'm betting around 4000 lbs. We are still used to tenting it. So really on the trip out, there is the weight of the camper and the water. Then on the way back, there is probably no water and add the waste. Other than that it's just the normal stuff we would bring. We haven't added anything more to our camping setup because we have the space to.
