Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

Might be the same system but with a different air bag.

Nope, exactly the same. Kelderman uses these bags, biggest that will fit.

That would mean they are running it with more pressure.

Perhaps, or close. My longer wheelbase loads the front more.

They load a pile of gear on the front as well.

What is your wheel base?

But how much do they have behind the rear axle? That will really effect front loading.

Did you ask them how much pressure the are running?

A factory F550 is 19,500 GVWR

Earthroamer LTS is 21,000 GVWR

I'm trying to find some owners to chime in

18,000 empty and they're adding 4'-5' to the frame.

Interesting, I did not realize they added so much length to the frame. Mine was a 36" extension

Looks to be 17' wheel base

Right around there. Iirc it's just over as the "big" alignment rack was too small and I think he said to was good for 17'...maybe it's 17'4. I can check.

Either way, have to be careful of belly drag!

Gonna put this one down as a win (so far!) a couple hundred miles and a couple passes and it's leak free! Going hose down the Underside with degreaser, I really hope this was the oil leak all along!

Always start with the simple, obvious and cheap fixes before going to the obscure, complex and expensive solutions (usually sourced from the Internet)
