    Spearfisherman do you have lower stableloads?


    Yes I do. Truck has to squat a bit before it starts to engage though.

    I have oem front and rear anti sway bars with my mammoth and they seem sufficient. I was running 100psi in the airbags making it too bouncy so removed upper stableloads and added supersprings and it rides way better. Only running 35psi in the airbags now.

    That's without any options and they consider the 3 slidouts options even though they are mandatory.

    Wow. Think he's gonna need the 550. My F350 dually 2WD xcab (not CC) has a max camper weight of 5200, and I felt that even with my 4300 lb Bigfoot it needed a bit of help. Plenty of power, but sag and sway. Sway bars fixed the sway, full air suspension fixed the sag. You are looking at nearly another ton with that Mammoth!


    Maybe not. The newer model truck have way more payload than my 2005 and I'm doing ok after mods. My biggest problem was that my bed is a little beat up and wasn't level so the camper had a lot of rock and roll.

    The plan is to go pick up the camper, use it on the way home from Arizona. That should give me a feel on how the truck will handle.

    They are just following industry standards. Both of the Bigfeet I have purchased must have been filled with heilum when they weighed them. It had all leaked out by the time I weighed them. :)
