Hello, I am new to the truck camper world. I have moved from 5th wheel to something that fits me better. I have a 2013 F-350 DRW and have just purchased a Lance 1172. Can I get some ideas on what air bags/ suspension to put in as well as torklift vs happijac, or any input you may have to a newbie.
Thanks |

Welcome to the world of TC, you will enjoy it!
I am simliar to your set up: Rancho RS 9000XL shocks Hellwig Big Wig F/R sway bars TorkLift Stable Loads And let me also suggest: Tractor Supply has 4 ft w x every how long you want (8Ft) ¾ in horse mat made from shredded tires. I would get it, lay in your bed ( no need to glue or screw down, its not going anywhere as it fairly heavy) and set your camper down on it, save wear on the bed, easy on the camper as it absorbs some of the bumps and does not fade, been running mine 5 years. You do that with the rig you have and you will need NOTHING else, have UNBELIEVABLE handling even on the motorcycle roads. My truck sets level, no air bags needed, with your engine you can be a left lane driver especially in the mountains and see mpg in the 11's loaded pulling a trailer like I do... |
