No offense.
You have to realize THAT picture was taken the moment we picked it up from the dealer. The squat is not as much as it appears, the truck is on a slight incline thats starts about where the hitch is so the picture is a little deceiving. This was with 0 anything in the camper, ALL our...
I went to the scales when realistically loaded for a weekend trip and I was WELL under GAWR (I was under 10k), as long as the camper is evenly loaded, tongue weight will be well within limits.
I am getting ready to change my differential fluids, I do have the electronic locking rear diff.

I have this set up, it looks like I wanted it to. on FULL HARD right turn I hear the mildest of rubbing. No issues other than that. Speedo is about 2mph off at 75 mph. My MPG dropped a little. Average 20-21 hwy. 18-19 city.
