Thank you to everyone responding. To quote the tag line of JIMLIN " "good judgment comes from EXPERIENCE, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment" ............ Will Rogers
That is why I ask those who have been through or directly experience errors in navigating TC set ups that are close to or exceeding OEM conservative expectations.
As mentioned I will FIRST install Rancho shocks. Then go for a TorkLift package of upper StableLoads, tie- downs, and hitch... in that order. After driving the unit home, I truly believe that over the 100K miles he had put on the truck with that camper in that set up he must either have been a very conservative driver or he had his guardian angel in the passenger seat. Honestly.
To all Happy Camping this upcoming summer, and safe travels.
