Well,
Hit a Cat scale last Friday.
Front: 4680
Rear: 7820
Total: 12500
Had one of the propane tanks empty on the ride up.
Drained all water and waste water before we left.
Me the wife and the dog.
Fridge full, Q grill in back hold, 3 chairs on back ladder, some tools in the small passenger side compartment, nothing much in the basement. We carry the usual dinnerware, glasses, etc.
Clothes for the weekend.
Nothing in the back seat of truck but the 80 lb mutt.
Might be the camper was an inch shy of hitting the bump stops against the bed front but can't see that having any real impact.
Had the bags set at 35 psi for the ride up and it seems to be the sweet spot for that load. Minimal sway for the load.
I've decided that I'm just not an air bag fan though. Would rather have spring steel under me.
I'm also not comfy with the overload I'm currently carrying and feel obligated to rectify that for our own safety and others.
I'll bump the wheels and tires up so they're at least at 4500 per.
Going to add the SuperSprings. Looking at their ordering page, they show capacities as such:
3500 PSP-7 (included)
1750 Half Kit
1900
Probably being dense here, but that 3500 lb capacity for the set?
