Lance 1025 on 3/4 ton diesel Silverado
I'm used to pulling a small arctic fox 5th wheel, but am looking at buying a 2001 Lance 1025 which is supposed to weigh 2600 lbs. I know I need to get my 2006 Chevy 3/4 ton diesel long box weighed but...

Once you find out how heavy your truck is, you should have around 1800 lbs of payload left. Now the truck will carry a lot more than that but I also believe you are going to be over your load limit of your rear tires.
When I had my 2008 Chevy 3/4 ton diesel crew cab I added extra springs to the rear which let me add 800 lbs extra to the payload. This only cost about $200.00
You need to add at least 500 lbs to your 2600 camper weigh to go from dry weigh to wet.
I had my camper at a wet weigh of 3700 lbs on my 3/4 ton and I didn't like the thought of taking it on a long trip so I got a bigger truck. It looked fine and if I had only planned short trips I may have never did it.
