    That can't be the camper you are talking about in the bottom picture...

    Make sure the end links aren't worn out but I believe the relocate will fix that.

    That's about like mine. Mine may be even a bit higher in the back. But the leafs and shocks were set up for an ARE bed shell, which i have off atm. that's part of the problem.

    LOL yeah. I extended the tongue and widened the frame. The big black box you see on the front I fabbed it is all steel, 24x24x60', framed with 1" angle and skinned with 16ga. It weighs a couple hundred pounds not including all the gear stored on the driver's side and the pass side houses the fridge. The whole camper only weighs about 1400lbs loaded.

    I wouldn't mind mine being a little higher in the front but it works really well. I even have a set of "Hammer Hangers"on the way for the rear.

    Oh, it works great. I've hauled 32 bales of hay (farm boy here) on the back of my taco, no problem. that load just about levels the truck out

    Well I see why you would desire to keep your sway bar then. I haven't ever had to do the relocate on mine but it would be the easiest and cheapest fix to try i would think

    Nice. I wonder, does it come with install instructions? Or is it obvious? I'm not as good a mechanic as i'd like.

    The ones I have dealt with, mainly removing to do other work, were really strait forward. It simply bolts in between the frame and the sway bar dropping the sway bar down a little and should come with all the hardware

    This is why I asked. I just have the adjustable add-a-leaf on mine and a weight distribution hitch. 19s Rockwood Roo, right at 4400 lbs loaded. Didn't mean for it to sound condescending, 12 leaves is a lot of spring.

    Might as well.
    Most people bought the TRD for the sticker anyways.

    I couldn’t care less, if it makes you feel happy why not. It wouldn’t be any different then the decal on the TRD Sport 2x4.

    Nice campe! The folks next to us last we went had one. The deavers with the overlods are 11 leaves but they are thinner leaves and are progressive packs. They ride really well, handle loads really well, and give plenty of flex on trails. I had stock leaf packs with 3 leaf AAL's and when I added the weight of the camper and then the rear bumper with swingouts and spare it was a bit much.

    Or the decal on the 4x2 “off-road” which is an odd model to offer.

    Eazy peazy I don't think you even have to drop the skid plate but I haven't dealt with one in a while either
