Well after the last few outings, and honestly after putting on the camper, it's become glaringly obvious it was time for a shock upgrade. While on the Big Bend trip, @Tex68w turned me on to giving Accutune a go. I talked to them, had a good long conversation. And after another 35 minutes on the phone today exchanging information, they will be building me a custom set of of Fox DSC 2.5 remote reservoirs. Custom piston, with my compression and extension lengths considered, as well as drive type and weight. I have a pretty heavy truck, and even my dry weight with nothing added, no water, no gear, just standard tools and equipment in the bed is nearly 11,800lbs. Once loaded I'm sitting just 180lbs shy of 6K steer axle, and 14lbs from 7K on the drive axle. So fully loaded with us 4 inside, and all gear we are just under 13k. These shocks will have both low and high speed adjustment, and I can make adjustments depending on what I carry, which can change around 1000lbs. Here is a pic of the dry weight on Cat scales near me. The shocks should be here sometime early December after they make all their custom changes and valving for my setup.
