Over weight? Does it bother you?
From spending time in here lots of people have said that they were over weight with the camper. I'm over weight. Does it worry you? Does it keep you from going where you want to go? How much ...

I would never exceed tire or axle ratings. My dually has a GVWR of 11,500, and I am fairly sure whatever camper I end up with will put me over it. That's why I am going to have a spring shop install another leaf in the packs. I will weight my truck first, then truck with camper to know exactly what I have, then I will account for some gear and tell the spring shop what additional payload I am looking for.
Please “Splain” how adding spring effects your tire and / or axle ratings?
Thx.
It doesn't, but I'm not going to be exceeding the rating of either so that's not my concern. What IS my concern is the fact that exceeding the payload and gvwr, in my experience, leads to poor handling. Suspension upgrades take care of that, hence my plan to add leaves.
