Finally got around to doing this. These are from last summer.

 

Couple more..

 

So how do you like that setup in the snow? I went with a srw specifically for snow traction, with which I've been quite happy so far, w/ just the stock, oft maligned, rugged trails -

 

Does very well in snow. I drove it through 7" of snow with no problems. also does well in the sand. I used to carry the unit on an '08 3/4 ton dodge and the dually is noticeably better in every way.

 

It looks as though you're sagging in the rear quite a bit. I used to haul an avg. of 20-25k lbs on a daily basis in my '03 and I tell ya.....those overload springs riding on the spring stops wore my tailend out. Installed a set of Ride-Rite bags in the rear and it was night and day difference. Kinda like riding in a 1-ton Caddy .

Your truck looks good though. Other than that, just my .02

 

I've added the Stable Loads overload extensions and the truck is just slightly out of level with those installed. I may still air bag it down the road. The camper is pretty heavy-between 4700-4800lbs. wet.

One thing I've also noticed is the bed rails on the 2010 and up models are 1" higher in the back than the front. This gives the illusion of the camper "leaning back" a bit.

 

My bags are rated for 5k lbs each. I kept about 40 lbs in each bag so the truck was almost level while loaded. Now, unloaded was a whole other story. About 10 lbs in each while unloaded was plenty sufficient.

 

I might be a little biased - ok, a lot biased - I love the all white gen4 duallies! Looks great with the camper on board - perhaps I'll take the wheels off mine...........

 

Thanks, Stargeezer. The white wasn't my first choice, but it's grown on me. Of course with the 4th gen truck styling ANY color looks good....

I am a little hacked though, now that Dodge finally offers beautiful Alcoa aluminum wheels for our trucks (as a NO CHARGE option to boot)...I guess I'll have to figure out how to buy a set down the road.

I won't even get started on the now available 800ft lbs of torque........

 

I saw that in a commercial today work....I know, I have too much time on my hands while at work....but hey I WORK FOR ALCOA . We get pretty good discounts on products so i'll keep on the look out for some prices and even better discounts.

Trust me when I say I'm not trying to rub this in your face .

 

That's what I noticed after transferring my camper from the '98.5 to the '07. I needed a 2" riser in order to clear the cab also. Chuck the stock shocks and try some Bilstein's or Rancho 9000's. They're garbage.
