1 Ton overloads

My Bro has an '03 3/4 and carries a 9ft camper. He pulls a tandem trailer with an Argo behind. He finds his truck sags(unlike his '02). His dealer says he can add a leaf, but can't order stock (1 ton) overloads and add them on. Any advice?

I had a friend with a motor home that leaned because it was heavier on on side. He took to a shop that specialized in truck springs. They fixed it and he was a happy camper.

Your bro could try a spring shop or add overload springs.

TurboTed,
You might want to consider Timbrens . Thats what I plan on doing if I ever need more load capacity.

The TIMBRENS and AIR BAGS DON"T give yo any added capacity buththey will help maintain the level ride. That's what they advertise anyway
