That is an excellent idea. I have tomorrow off, and we have a CAT scale in town, so I'll give it a try.

Yeah what you got is a big pendulum in the bed. You'd think the dually would be enough but they make trucks ride like cars to make the empty daily driver happy, so when you actually use them loaded up you find little issues like this. Hopefully you're under enough control now it will be more enjoyable.Thanks again 18Crew. I just edited my post above with each axles rated capacities. That Arctic Fox 992 isn't the biggest camper out there by any means, and it's getting pretty close to the rated capacity for my 3500 dually axles.
So you have about 427lbs., before you are at GVWR...if you add the water. Heck of a load! Good getting the anti-sway bar. I think the air springs by Timber Grove would work well with your setup.to get to the travel weight of 13,563 lbs.

Hey guys, I was wrong on the axle weight capacities on my truck. When I looked at the door sticker yesterday it was well past sunset and a little dark, so I couldn't see the sticker correctly with my feeble eyes.
Today, in broad daylight, I looked again
Front axle capacity 6,000 lbs. Loaded weight on front axle 5,140 lbs
Rear axle capacity 9,750 lbs. Loaded weight on rear axle 8,040 lbs.
I am well within the axle capacities for my truck.
I'm going to look at air bags now. I like the idea of being able to adjust pressure and dial in how much assistance you need beyond the standard spring pack and overload springs.
Just finished pouring over the installation instructions for the Timber Grove airbag system. I like their mounting bracket set up a lot better. Take a look at the upper mounting bracket that bolts to the frame. It is perfectly flat and doesn't lower the upper limit of suspension travel by 2 or 3 inches like the others.
Now I'm just trying to decide on an air system. Do I go with their air system, or do I install an ARB twin air compressor that would be big enough to easily fill tires on a UTV or the truck or trailer if needed? Any pointers on air systems would be helpful.
