Your set up sounds close to what we have. To clarify, is that 3 on both the front and rear when unloaded, and 9 on both the front and rear with camper? Thanks.
Yes. I tried 5 on the fronts, but didn't notice a lot of difference. 6 and 7 felt stiff, so I settled on 3 all the way around, unloaded, just to keep it simple. Nothing scientific, just feels about right with my truck. 1 on the rears was WAY too squishy of a ride.
Seems like there's little difference from one number to the next. 2 click increments is when I feel a difference.
I suspect that suspension/spring wear and tear plays a role in what number you decide on.
