So, I have decided to have Deaver put in stiffer leaf springs for me. It is a 4 week wait, but i think it is the right thing to do given the fact that the camper is on the truck 100% of the time.
Further question: I want to see if it is worthwhile installing an external tiedown system such as Torklift or Happijac? The camper slipping out of the in-bed hooks and almost crashing to the ground has been pretty scary. I now want to see if the above options are better?
They are pricey - i think its around $800 or more installed with turbuckles. However, I wonder if you guys think that an in-bed system is just fine with better turnbuckles that are springloaded and have an eyelet or some such more robust solution? I simply do not want to go back to the stock aluminum turnbuckle.
I understand that with torklift/happijacs are for much larger campers and that the angle of the connection between camper hook and torklift really matters.
