Northern Lite 10-2 SE loaded. Debating air bags.  |
Hey all, I’m having a NL 10-2 SE delivered in March. I have a 2016 Chevy 3500 DRW CC D/A 4x4. I’m told the camper will be around 3400 Lbs dry, so I’m figuring ~ 4200 wet and loaded. Does anyone have this setup or a similar wet weight? If so, did you need airbags to level? I may tow a cargo trailer as well but it shouldn’t have a high tongue weight. Thanks — just trying to decide if I should get the bags installed now, or wait and see.

I have air lift bags on my 1 ton and there is an added benefit that a lot of people don't realize and that is, lightly inflated (I keep mine at a minimum 5 psi all the time, loaded or not), lightly inflated bags take that annoying kick out of the suspension when crossing tar strips unloaded.
