Ideas to Shed Weight in Truck Camper
I am looking at ways to shed some weight on my Lance 830. One area I'm looking at is the stock queen innerspring mattress. I'm not sure of the weight, maybe around 75lbs. plus I have a pretty heavy 2"...

My 17's are rated for 3195 each. 18's bump that to 3640. This give a little over 800lbs. of rated capacity. This with the add a leaf essentially make my truck equal to a F350 SRW. I can do this for about $1500. I can probably sell my 17's for $700 or so. But.......33" vs. 31" tire diameter takes my 3.73 ratio down...Truck certainly doesn't need this.
I'd be happy with 18's, 4.30 gears, and the add a leaf...about $4500 in modifications. Just shooting the bull, I'm probably fine on my weights if I am careful.

Did you find wheels rated more than 3400? I couldn't.
Just curious before you pop for tires. Maybe factory wheels are, Ram's did not in the research I did.
As Gman posted, the 17" rims are rated for 3195 lbs. However, the 18" and 20" rims are only rated for 3525 lbs each.
