I have a Lance 881 its really heavy but the truck does fine.. I did however add 2 HD leafs in the rea and 1 HD leaf in the front. The work was done by a professional spring shop in Delaware, Blue Hen Springs. The cost was about $1100 but the ride loaded is like a dream... Camper off "wild west stage coach" but I have a short commute in the winter to work and the camper stays on all camping season march till november. No regrets, I had sheered off 2 air bag bolts prior to the spring work and now only need about 30 lbs in each side to counter the uneveness that somes with full to empty tanks and what we pack to travle. I also tow a boat from time to time with the tork lift super hitch and other times I tow the motorcycle on a trailer.
I love the Short bed and how easy it is to maunver. We have plenty of room 2 adults and a 5 and 10 year old. Keep in mind one thing!!! how much time do you acctually spend in the camper. For us its only a place to sleep and shower other than that myself and the kids are out fishing, boating, enjoying the outdoors or other stuff.....
