Can’t afford new air bags right now

[LL8]

Moved up to a F350 DRW and need to take a little sag and sway out of the set-up. I can’t afford air bags right now but I do have a set of timbren bump stops left over from my last set-up. The camper is pretty light weight 4200# and only drops the bed about 1 1/2 “ when loaded. Eventually I’ll save up enough for air bags and swapping the factory sway bar for a hellwig but for now I’m thinking:
Upper overload super sway stops ($165) and adding the timbren suspension bump stops.
I had homemade wedges on my bottom overloads with my last set-up but don’t think They would do a whole lot with the DRW.
Are there any other inexpensive adjustments that I may be over looking you would recommend? Thanks

What year is dually?
My 2017 F350 carries 6000lb camper just fine.
I only add hockey pucks to upper overloads, even I did not really need them.
Even with camper on, the rear is higher than front and for level parking I need to put planks under front wheels.

My sentiments exactly, unless you mean 1-1/2" BELOW level.

If it's only 1-1/2" total, the overloads are barely engaging. Raise it up much/any and you'll be slapping off the overloads every time you hit a bump, which let me tell you makes for a VERY harsh ride.

Does your truck have a rear antisway bar? If not, I'd probably install one before airbags. Does your truck have secondary overloads?

4200 lbs isn't a "light weight" camper.

I'd recommend Torklift Stableloads. That's what I run on my dually and hate the airbags I installed 10 years ago.
