🤣 It only sticks out 4’ beyond the original box! Have you driven one of these vehicles? It definitely doesn’t go done the tight trails like my Jeep Wrangler. Driving one of these on trails requires a little more skill and awareness but totally doable.

Helper air bags on the rear springs to control ride height when fully loaded. Individually controlled so at the camp site I’ll be able to lower pressure in one raise the other one or raise both of them or lower both of them....all in an effort to help level it out.

First off love the thread keep it up, I look forward to your updates. Your fabrication skills continually impress me and i really like the ease of fill of that fresh water fill port. Would be cool if the air bags in the rear could individually and possibly automatically adjust to the 1600 pounds of diesel as it's added and subsequently depleted. I would assume that weight would make the truck lean to the right side a bit correct?

The air bags are individually controlled...manually so I can custom adjust them depending on the load and camping area to help level it out.
About 1,400 lbs of fuel on the passenger side.
So I’m putting all of the other heavy things such as batteries (6 additional batteries inside the camper) generator and everything else possible on the drivers side.
