look at your shocks if there are signs that they have leaked any oil out it's time to replace them. take one off or even just off at one end it should be hard to compress it.
on lighter vehicles you can do the bounce and rebound check but on 3/4 or 1 ton you really need to take it off to test it.
I keep 80lbs in our tires while the camper is on, it does make a difference.
Also if you have the overload springs are they being engaged. I found extending the overload bumper really helped.
Good luck and have fun. remember only about 1 in 3 campers roll over while driving down the road. LOL
