Use that information do determine your trucks left over payload. This is the maximum your truck can carry. You will be surprised. And if you can find a truck camper to fit your available payload, I will be shocked.

Air bags are not used to (and cannot) increase your payload, they are used to make your (legally) loaded truck handle properly. Basically they allow your springs/shocks to return to the height instead of being compressed just from the load.

Anyways. You'll see EVERYTHING on the road, and you'll hear EVERYONE saying "it drives like it's not even there".

Ask Calgarygringo about his incident (or search for it).

If it was me, get a bigger truck, or get a RTT.
very good advice and it is correct in nature
