Hello everyone. I’m trading in my 36 ft 5er toy hauler for a heavy truck camper on Monday. Lance 1172. I will be towing my Jeep on a trailer as well.
Wet weight of the camper will be about 5k. Plus another 500 when the Jeep is back there. I have a 2011 Ram 3500 DRW with a Cummins . I installed some Airlift 7500 lb bags recently. I have never used bags before. So couple questions. Do I want to raise the back of the truck up to the level it normally is when empty? Or is a little squat desired? . When I load the camper should I have a little air in them, a lot of air? Basically should I prefill the bags? |

Interesting thread. I tend to run my bags around 25lbs based on feel but in truth I'm not sure I need them at all really because I run upper and lower stable loads, big wig rear sway bar and rancho 9000's
When empty I drop the bags to 5lbs (min recommended setting) to help lower the rear of the truck since adding them seems to have lifted it slightly. I fill to desired amount once the camper is loaded. I'm running an AF990 on an F350 PS CC LB 4x4 |
