Hello I am considering buying a 198? 8ft viking truck camper that weighs 1100lbs (not sure if that is wet or dry)?
my truck is a 2007 dodge ram 1500 slt. from what i can tell the payload capacity is between 1260-1362 depending on gearing which i am still trying to figure out. So loaded up I will probly excede payload but not by much. Is this exceptable or will I need pricey suspension upgrades? also my tires are only 2ply will i need to upgrade if so what too? |
