Thanks for the reply Jim. We actually used the Bilstein 5100 shocks. Looking at Timbrens to level things up if we need them. Wet weight on the STC we looked at was 3600 pounds. I know what I can do to increase the margin of safety on weight for the truck if needed (tires, air bags, air shocks, extra spring packs, etc) - my real interest was in the handling characteristics of the STC. It sits lower and has a low CG because there is no basement and the water and gray tanks essentially sit on the truck bed floor. No black water tank because of the cassette toilet. Final weight and suspension mods will be determined by actual experience and a trip across the scales loaded but I am fishing for direct experience from other STC owners trying to anticipate what additional mods I might have to make. I have read most of the threads here and on several other forums but so far I haven't found a lot of STC owners commenting on their setups.
