My inclination would be to think it's the custom spring pack doing the job and not the Roadmasters. No one I know who has tried them thought they were worth the money.
Sorry for delay in reply...
So, Yes to FWC Eagle is installed full time.
And yes I setup my springs to carry "most" of the weight...
However, on occasion I've needed to remove and the drive around... With my custom springs it's a bit on the stiff side but the roadmasters for anti-sway and axle wrap are great, It's like driving a sports car around the mountain roads I live when I have the camper unloaded, terrific traction.
The roadmasters are for anti-sway mostly and they do a GREAT job at that. They handle off road rock crawling terrific with the camper installed. This is what usually blows out a bag the heavy twisting when bouncing around off road over boulders. I've also done some high speed baja type driving and I think they help with the bounce you get there as well from whoops going fast. I don't do this type of off road as much as slow rock crawl.
Roadmasters probably add some weight carrying as well, They claim 20% or 40% depending on setting. Probably not like a Super Spring or Helwig spring or sumo springs. I didn't want to go with Sumo Springs or Super Springs because I wanted to go with hydraulic Bump Stops and they would get in the way. Helwig has some options but I went custom pack instead. (Look up helwig 1906s for an option).
So full rear suspension I have for extreme off road and full time install:
Custom Springs 8 Leaf, NO overload progressive pack. Results in about 4in lift (Level truck with installed FWC, 1" Rake to front when FWC is not installed)
Roadmasters set to 40%
ICON Extended shocks
ICON Hydraulic bump stops
