So took it out today, little sooner then I thought would happen.
The springs are about purrfect. The overloads were engaged a few times from the looks of things but nothing too abrupt. Handled the dips really well. Don't think it could be matched any better. Drove better then the SRW with 4100# springs for sure, prob cause of the DRW. Both have the hellwig big wig swaybar.
Makes me wonder if a rule of thumb could be 4000# camper=4000# springs, 5000# camper=5000# springs. With a big swaybar!
And best of all, the rear doors can be opened with just the smallest clearance from the front jacks if they are left extended about 4".
Happy trails!
