Upgrade truck suspension
Hi all, Just on the shakedown trip with the new rig, a NL 8-11 and a 2019 Chevy 3500HD Duramax. Over all I am happy with most of the handling, certainly the acceleration and pulling power is fine....

For my next step, I am going to leave the front shock setting at 6 and I am going to increase the engagement on the rear overloads and try dialing back the rear Ranchos settings. The beauty of the Ranchos is they make it possible to try a lot of different shock rates.
Since you have so many adjustments, why not try changing the fronts as well? I don’t know what tires you have, but you probably could also try different tire pressure. If you don’t want to go down, you could try going up in the front. I think you’d probably have some pressure to work with in the rear. Based on the weights you posted, you probably can drop the pressure on the rear tires.
Fwiw, I use Energy Suspension Bump Stops on my current truck and did as well on my SRW, but I used them to engage the overloads when I had air in the airbags. I find airbag pressure makes the ride more plush generally. You camper is a lot lighter than mine, however.
