Setting the legality of it aside, he said he was "100% confident" that if I bought a 1-ton diesel and installed airbags, loaded it up with the TC and the boat, and drove it over the mountains in our area I would be perfectly happy with how the truck performed (none of this first-gear, 30mph hazards-on nonsense). Thoughts?
I agree it could probably be legal. The question is will the tires hold up etc. The airbags will not increase the payload since the limiting factor for SRWs generally turns out to be the tires. The airbags can level the vehicle but can also make the vehicle unstable if too much air is added.
Then, what happens if you decide the most minimum camper isn’t big enough? You’ll immediately be way over the safety factor which is also the case if you simply decide to carry more stuff. It seems as is, you are planning on best case with smallest camper on the smallest truck that can possibly work with the smallest kids and no friends.
Since it doesn’t seem like you have the truck, do yourself a favor and go DRW, and you will be pretty well future proofed.
