Yes sir. My favorite Chevy truck (07 classic), but wasn't a fan of the IFS. Wanted something strong and reliable for traveling with a camper onboard! Whole setup weighs in at 10,300lbs.
How has the flipPac worked out for you? It looks to be a better solution than climbing a narrow ladder in the rain, snow, wind, at night from the side of a pickup. Will you share the cost of your setup?
We took our new/used 8.5' Alaskan to the San Juans last week. It was enjoyable.
I was debating installing airbags but the truck handles the camper well with only minimal sag. I'm not sure what, if any, improvements would be worth the cost and complexity.
Just looking at the cab to camper clearance has me wondering if you need a small platform under the camper to keep from having contact when in rough terrain.
