Thanks.
What's the mpg when you travel with 1172? Is it a good idea to get a 55 gal Titan fuel tank?
Yes, after reading all advices here I decide to drive the camper home without airbags next Tuesday, and see how it goes.
I talked to a local workshop, they suggests airlift over Firestone if I finally need airbags. How would you guys compare Firestone and Airlift?

I have a 16 ram and a 17 Lance 1172. When I picked up my camper and drove it home it didnt sag much. After a few months it did sag, I put tree wedges under the rear springs, it still sags. I have ordered the 7500lb airbags from firestone and plan to install them.
I have spoken to different owners with the same setup and some do fine with just the stable loads. I prefer not to have airbags as the ride is a bit rougher when unloaded. I bought the 7500 air bags off internet for about $450 and should be about $250 to install. The regular airbags are 5000 lb capacity, you will be over that with a fully loaded 1172 make sure get bigger airbags if you go that route. If you do install the airbags do it with separate air valves, not just one.
From my research sway bars dont help much on our setup.
My suggestion, drive it home stock and then reevaluate it later.
For those with the same setup, will upgrading the rear shocks help with the sag? Current ones are stock with 5k miles on it.
