I have already nailed down what I can haul, but I have questions if I should install overload springs, airbags which work better? We usually have 2 adults, one lid and the dog along with firewood and bicycles in the truck. Going 5th wheel we will have to figure on another stow location. Thank you any and all info and advice is welcome and much appreciated.
What size 5er you looking at??
You are going to be over the TV GVWR for sure, 2005 2500 was 9,200#. Your rear axles rating is right about 6,000# to 6,200# you should be able to under that, BUT watch the stock tires 265/70-17E's only have a 3,195# rating each.
Before getting bags or Timbiern's hook up the 5er, see how it sits! We tow an 11,000# 32' 5er with our 2001 2500, with no bags or Timbiern's
The great thing with a 5th wheel is the basement, much of what you needed to pack for each trip in the bed of the TV can go in the 5er's basement and stay there.
