This is a repost of some questions I posted on Tundratalk. I haven't had much luck over there, so maybe a camper centric group will be more appropriate!
Hi, I'm new to the forum and a new Tundra owner. I have a 2014 regular cab, long bed, 5.7, 4x4, work truck package that I am going to put a Hallmark K2 pop-up camper on. The truck weighs around 5200 lbs /w a GVWR of 7200 lbs. Given the particular dimensions of my truck camper combo I've been trying to figure out the springs/shocks/air bags package to carry the load. I am going to set the suspension up mainly to carry the load and can deal with a more harsh ride unloaded. Having said that, my first question is which OME springs should I get if front axle has 325 lbs of camper weight? I also plan on a RS-E aluminum front bumper with an Engo 9000lb winch (appox 60-70 lbs extra). Basically, 400 lbs extra on the front axle.
The attached pic shows a pretty accurate description of weights and placement. I left the gear weight very low to keep the package under GVWR.
The next question is would the OME Dakar spring with OME add a leaf put me close to normal rear height? I plan on using air bags for trimming out the load but don't want to have to run them very hard.
Thanks,
Eric Nelson
