^ I can relate to that, although I’ve only hauled the 860’s save for a big ole Lance something or other on a buddy’s old F250 that I put a 6” lift on. That thing was a handful but coincidentally I only drove it in a blizzard pulling a trailer, heading north with a stout west wind!
I’d imagine the AFs being about the tallest and heaviest per ft, similar to Host, eagle cap and big lance campers would affect body roll more than lighter lower profile campers.
Either way, drove the first one to AK, towing a substantial trailer with only air bags on the mega cab. It was bouncy, but didn’t feel out of control. (Once you’re used to the sway, it puts you to sleep, lol)
Adding spring wedges and a rear sway bar = big difference. It’s not like a dually by any stretch, but it is considerably better.
Takes a few band aids to make a srw truck ride good with a 2ton + camper in the bed.
