So tires and rims for sure. And we have Springworks up where I live that's all they do is custom spring work.. Question on the springs though. The unit im looking at is 2874 Dry weight with gen and water/gear most likely 3200-4000max but definatly now any where near 4500 pounds if the springs are rated for 6K weight I still have some room to grow right? maybe add airbags to help ride? the springs only really have the weight of the bed as it sits on the driveway. is there really any need for springwork to be done?
Since you already have the upper overload springs that are part of the camper package, plan on using devices that will engage them sooner so the truck does not have to sag 3" before engagement. If you still need more support, add devices to the lower overload spring to do the same. These device can be built by you or purchased from companies like Torklift. I doubt you will need airbags unless you tow heavy or your camper is heavier on one side requiring some form of equalization to level left to right.
