Leveling with air bags correctly
After reading forums I did what they said. I think all that I have read have been COMPLETELY wrong. I don't mean to offend anyone, and I'm sure maybe this was mentioned already buried in long string...

Ok, fair enough.
Still haven’t posted what truck, load etc.
But yes , assume 12’ length wheelbase and 4” of sag in the rear. That changes caster angle about .3 deg. That’s less than the published “in spec” range of caster angles for trucks.
And fwiw, the reccomendation for Rams that yield the most solid steering are greater by more than the caster would change with the camper on than OE spec. In other words there’s publicized cater specs that have a considerably greater deviation than the camper puts on it.
And static toe in doesn’t magically go straight. Just like caster we’re talking very small measurements. The difference between 0.00 toe and recommended toe in specs is pretty minute.
Good conversation though.
Question, what was your criteria for determining tire wear empty vs loaded. How many miles? Did you Rotate tires between loaded and unloaded?
What was your caster angle set to by the shop?
