I'm on the Dodge forums and have never read that but anything's possible. Guy's have got some heavy,large cabovers on there. All the sheetmetals getting thinner and thinner from all the manufacturers. The newest Tundra's tailgates were collapsing with the weight of ramps used to get the owners...

A shortbed,4door Dodge carries that warning due to the tail heavy nature of a cabover. A QC Longbed or regular cab like mine doesn't carry that warning. My friend has an 8' Northstar TC800 shortbed model. I would guess that the rear axle load is 2K# over the front. It's all about load...

Good buy!

Mold zone.

Beautiful job buddy!

Me three.

Yeah,I think we're stuck with it. My Northstar TC800 has a heavy plywood roof and I get it.

4ply tires would be a C rated tire. I couldn't imagine anything less than a D on a 1/2 ton. Preferably and E with that camper. I don't see how manufacturers get away with p-rated(passenger) tires on a light truck.

Front axle 4400#,rear 4000# with camper. I run 60 psi all the way around with 285-75-17 Toyo AT's. They wear evenly with stock 8" rims. Unladen I run 50 front and 40 rear.

On highway handling will be improved at the cost of less articulation offroad. The swaybar strives to keep the body and axle in a parallel plane. This makes the ride rougher going into driveways at an angle,uneven street surfaces and dirt roads. I ran a Hellwig standard one for a few years but...

My friend has a 1999 F-350 Supercab 4wd 7.3 liter. Auto. Snugtop cab high shell Factory pizza cutters and $7K worth of Banks top system. Mileage has always disappointing him. 16mpg max. I get 16 max out of my '07 2500 Ram. G-56 manual,285's,8' Northstar popup and EFI Live. I lose 3 mpg with the...

Exactly my sentiment. Retaining your tailgate will require you to bend way over to enter the camper.

Better hurry it's getting hot out there.

Ford spent over $500 million on warranty repairs on the 6.0. This was according to Petersens 4wd mag. They ended up in court with Navistar and both parties reached an agreement. Buyer beware.

Contact Marc@ XP Campers. He had one.

Yep. A D rated Toyo RT 37-12.50-17 has a substantially thinner more flexible sidewall and a 50 psi max. An E rated Toyo MT,same size has a much sticker stiffer sidewall and a max psi of 65#. I've a friend who insists on running BFG D rated 315's on his '05 qclb w/utilitybed and Callen camper...

Ditto. Good for Anza Borrego also. Covered cooking in the wind rules.

Hi everyone! I just joined and learn something every read. I hope to add my humble experiences to the site. Next fall we're planning a 3 weeker to the Tip. Going to be traversing right and left Baja coasts. Probably going with some Toyo 35-12.50-17 RT's before the voyage. Nice rig. I wish I had...

It'll sell fast at the market price. Best of luck with your new setup!!
