Butch50...I have the 2011 version of the same truck and was wondering what kind of drop you had in your suspension when you loaded your camper and what if any suspension upgrades you've made at this point? I have a little larger camper than you have I believe (Lance 1172) and have done a couple upgrades all of which are working well.
I dropped about 2.5" when I loaded the camper and it looks level now instead of rear high. I have no suspension mods. I'm just getting ready to touch on the front pads on the overloads. If I decide I need it I'll install some Stable loads. I checked the parts number and the Stable Loads for Ford and Dodge were the same so I took off my old ones from the Ford and put the bumpers back on so have a set in the garage. I'll try it the way it is first.
There is no doubt that your camper is heavier than mine is. NL weighs every camper when it leaves the factory and empty with all options it weighed 3020# dry.
