Now for the hurt head...
These new guys that ask about getting into truck camping are not told what all they will need,most of the time,or the cost...I think it is only fair we tell them up front how expensive it can be especially with a SRW truck so they know what there getting into..
It can be really expensive for the mods so a TC will work right on a SRW truck..
I'm burnin' daylight..Got wood to split...Sorry for your headache..
Well, getting into truck campers can be expensive, but getting into 5th wheels and tt can be just as expensive. 5th wheel hitches and weight distribution hitches are not cheap.
Now for the Torque Lift stuff you mentioned. You are gonna need a way to attach any truck camper, just happens that IMHO Torque Lift makes the good stuff. You can get less expensive options.
As for me, I have No additional bump stops, stable loads, spring helpers or even sway bars. My F350 DRW handles my +4100 pounds exceptionally well, like it's not even there.
Say what you want, but I'll bet you that i can back in or pull in a site and be level quicker than anybody i know with exception of automatic hydraulic leveling systens.
