Well I weighed the truck with and without the camper. without the camper the front axle weighed 5251 with the camper it was 5371. The rear axle without the camper was 3900 and with the camper was 8230. The total weight of the truck without the camper was 9131 and with the camper 13621 so my camper is about 4490 pounds,, (please note that the scale was hard to read the lower 2 numbers so my numbers might not be exact to the 10 pound rating) That is in an almost dry state, no food cloths dishes family and the such. I am adding RS9000xl next week to help with the load and I already had the airbags that I inflate only as much as needed to help engage the overload springs and I plan on adding some home-made spring bumpers to help engage the springs earlier. I cannot justify 175 dollars for some rubber bumpers so I will use hockey pucks and see how that goes. After all is done I will test drive again to see how much roll I get. Bigger sway bars will be next if needed. I should have just bought an f-550 hahahah
