    Hi everyone,

    I would love your advice. I would like to put a camper (https://www.scoutcampers.com/scoutolympic) on my truck. With my family of 3, a dog, camping gear, and the camper, I'm sure I'll be over the payload capacity. To alleviate the extra weight, I'm thinking of putting air bags (Firestone Ride Rites), and getting some load E tires. Now I am not sure what to do with the suspension. 90% of the time I know I will be driving on paved roads, and on occasion, I will be on trails. Questions:
    1) Will the TRD sport suspension work for what I am trying to do, or do I need to change them out? I don't know how weight will factor into a sports tuned suspension.
    2) Should I get 18 inch wheels instead and out on bigger tires (still load E) with the camper?
    3) Sway bars. Can I use the existing sway bars or do I need heavy duty ones?

    Appreciate everyone's comments.

    Thanks in advance.

    BK
