How well do you think these will work with a slide in camper of say 3-4 thousand pounds?

Update rear leafs:
If you tow heavy, you definitely might want to discuss your towing weight with Carli before purchasing the starter system. I put a pallet of St. Augustine on my truck yesterday. I don't know how much a pallet of sod weighs (quick google search says 2000 - 3000 pounds), but it squatted my truck 3-1/4" measured from the top of the tire straight up to the bottom of the wheel well. The ride was very spongy. In an ealier post someone asked about a 3-4K slide in camper. I would not do it with the starter system rear leaf pack.

No I didn't keep the overloads. Removing the overloads is Carli's claim to a smoother ride. In addition, the Carli u-bolts are not long enough to re-use the overloads.
