Rancho 9000 shocks(set to one) and 35 pounds of air in the rear tires empty will greatly improve things.
Interesting thought , yet I wonder how that would effect my tire wear?
Well weigh your rear axle both loaded and unloaded, then check a load inflation chart for your tires.
If empty and rear axle weighs 3,000# that is 750 ea. on the four rear tires. Double that for loaded, to 6,000# and you get 1,500# per tire loaded, I wouldn't run the tires much above 65 psi loaded at 6,000#.
I will add that our 2001 2500 with Camper Package has the same springs as the 3500 DRW, I run my tires at 45 to 50 psi empty. I carry about 2,400#+ for pin weight on our 5er.
