Not towing trailer just the camper.
It's the left/right motion when I have too much air in the bags which keeps the overloads from engaging enough. With only 20 lbs or so in the bags, the truck sits lower than I like.
I think if I get the overloads to engage sooner it will cure both issues.
While I don't have your dodge, I have an F350. I started out with just Helwig, Stable loads and Rancho RS 9000 shocks. The truck did very well, and as the truck weighed empty 7800, I am typically around 10,500 loaded with a family if 6 and all our gear. I did not add the air bags till I got my super hitch for towing a small boat or an ATV trailer with two Honda TRX500's. I inky inflate the air bags till the overload springs Are just engaging the stable loads. It means the truck still sits a bit tail down, but I think that is more because I installed a 2.5" leveling kit to the truck, so it sits level unloaded....
I am not completely familiar with Dodges overload configuration, but with Fords separate overload springs and pads, the Stable loads are an absolute win for me.
