S&S 8.5 Camper on Ram 2500: Measured weights; advice.

I’d like to point out to the people who keep saying gas trucks have more payload that this truck’s front end weight is LESS when loaded with the camper than when empty.
It actually removes some weight from the front end.
That extra payload from a lighter engine up front does not increase your real world, useable payload.
Yeah, I know, the spec sheet says it does… but that’s not the whole story.
