Sharp Bouncing
Morning. I have a 2015 Chevy 3500 HD short bed, Crew with the duramax. It's setup with RS9000's in the rear (set at 9) and stable loads. Front shocks are Bilstein 5100. I have a Hellwig stabiliz...

Ok good info. I am happy to find someone with the same rig.
I'm aware of the weight on the camper. I did a lot of research. I don't have an on board generator but I have AC and probably won't remove that.
My bar also has three holes and I started in the lower recommended setting. So I can change that easily. I understand how you disconnect now - thanks.
My GVW is 11,500 and I thought for sure my rear axle max was 7050 and not 7500. The E rated tires I have are the 265/70/18 and are rated at 3525 each. Maybe you have a different tire size.
Either way I know I will be close to my limit.
In any case, I am hoping the 4600 series shocks will fix the issue. My truck would be a bit heavier than yours in the front with the Diesel I would guess.
You have tons of front axle capacity, so that shouldn't be a problem.
You're over the published rear axle capacity, but the axle manufacturer (AAM) seems to rate them significantly higher (> 10k lbs).
I currently have LT265/65R18 tires installed (GoodYear Silent Armor) with a 3750lb load rating. They decided to discontinue making those tires in that size. The stock tires were only rated at 3450lbs, and although they were LT tires, they were not 10 ply, and they were pretty sloppy handling.
