My FWC always stays on the truck. I remove the jacks as soon as I load it, I don't like the way they look hanging there or the extra weight of them. I usually have one of my bikes with me (XR650 or Cbr250) for running around once camp is set up.
I'm running the Daystar Airbag Cradles in my '08 F-150 supercrew. Definitely works well at letting the truck flex as intended. I originally had the bags bolted in and it severely limited flex but the Daystars gave it all back.

I take my jacks off as soon as i load the camper. I dont like the idea of how much damage would occur to the camper if I hooked them on something or if they got hit by someone. As far as stabilizing the camper I put a jack under the frame of the truck on each side, the factory scissor jack and a...
Question regarding your rig vs someone who may have a 09+. I have a back up camera and use it a lot. I love the damn thing. Having a FWC on would eliminate the tailgate and the backup cam. Do you know if FWC offers a backup camera option or could rig something up to hook up to the stock wiring...
