I went with the wireless air ride kit on my f250..it made a world of difference in the stance and rides nice. I will be adding some bilstein 5100 shocks soon as well..here is a before and after for you.

Did you go full air ride or just add bags to you stock suspension?

I was quoted 9800.00 installed for the full Kelderman Electronic height 4 corner system. This was at Kelderman in Iowa. 2011 F350 SRW. I'm probably going to do it in the spring I'm looking mostly for the kneeling function for entry / exit.

impecable observation on your part…they are not supporting any load in either picture. Did you notice the amp step is down in one of the pictures too! :)

Get the facts before applying bandaids,most people at rallies where rigs get measured are stunned by the true weights.

There's a big difference the way a rear living and a bunkhouse is loaded.;)

My neighbor has a 2500….when properly loaded, the back sits low, all his weights are within specs and he still has room to pull more weight if he wanted to go heavier. I helped him put on the AirLift kit (I believe) with two different schrader valves, and the ride is much nicer on rough roads. For him, adding the bags gave more room for suspension travel.

To say get a bigger truck without knowing what the full story is, really is no help. In my 2500, once I am all set up, my rear travel is greatly reduced. I will be adding bags myself in the future to keep things from banging around.

Maybe so, but they also have a 300 Lb genny, 150 Lb Combo Washer/Dryer and approx 150 Lbs of propane all up front, so I bet loaded it's pushing closer to 25% Pin, oh, forgot to add that they have three (3) ACs. Our floor plan is sort of similar, although we don't have bunks in the back, but we do have opposing living, dining, kitchen slide. We have the same combo washer/dryer, the same genny and the dual 40 Lb Propane tanks. Our gross is 16.5K and we're almost 4K of pin. Lets call it a Draw, and until real scale numbers are posted we're all just guessing at numbers.

The gross on the OP's is 16,000. The third A/C will be in the back.

There is also the R4Tech from firestone..
