I estimate that the crew cab long bed 4x4 diesel truck weighs 7100 pounds without the camper but I do not know how much of the weight is being carried by the rear axle.
Where do you go to figure that out?
Once I know that number I could estimate the rear axle weight with the camper.
If it helps your estimates any, I have a 2005 3500 SRW 8.1L ext cab 4x4 that weighs 4000 on the front and 2950 on the rear without the camper on. The diesel will only add to the front and the crew cab will probably add a little to both ends. I think this was with a 200# driver in the cab. You can probably assume about 3000 on the rear when empty with the tailgate on.
