Tundra truck camper

Made it 5,000 miles out west and back. Averaged 12 mpg on the trip, which is really good considering the load & front air push.

 

Cool camper and even cooler truck. How heavy is the camper?

 

Camper = 1,500 Lbs.
Truck with camper & loaded up + 2 people =8,600 lbs.
summo springs add on rear & front, & e rated tires.

 

Upload a pic of your leaf pack when you remove the camper. Would like to see the shape they're in being that overloaded for that duration.

 

It was at the normal ride height the majority of the time loaded with the camper, gear & 2 peeps because of the SUMO springs. The majority of the weight was carried by the sumo’s. Also, the picture of this sumo was before I added a 1/2” spacer at the bottom & a flat plate on top for a better consistent contact to the frame. The brackets I used were not from sumo, I didn’t like theirs, so I made my own. That way the sumo’s were making full contact with some pre - loading from the truck only/lifted truck 2”. I looked at the springs before & after and see no difference. In the past I used airbags, but switched to these sumos for a firmer ride at the proper ride height, the airbags at proper ride height were to soft, to get the proper firmness I had to air them up to 80 psi, which then lifted the truck to high.

 

It must be the angle of the pic because, even with the Sumo, the pack looks like it's forcing the overload negative.
