Now that is one sweet looking combination! Well, either alone is pretty sweet! Congratulations!

Thanks! Here is a pic of the truck alone.





Had to make some plate extensions for the camper jacks to accommodate the extra width of the vehicle.

But the problem I had to deal with was, what to do with the rear end sag, with the weight of the camper. Did a lot of research and found that there is no airbag solution. Stiffer springs would have ruined the ride when the camper is off, and add a leaf comes into contact with the wheel well in some situations. So… I found a company called RPG that makes a bump stop kit. Normally, I run the 2.5 inch bump stops, but when the camper is on, I switch to the 4.0 inch bump stops.

The RPGs look interesting, thanks for sharing the pics. Let us know how the ride is, after a few trips.

Don't do this with your Raptor.

Yup, you guessed it! Raven on a Raptor.

Curious how you handled the payload issue with the Raptor coming from the factory at just a little over 1000# for payload? I'm getting ready to order a Hawk but concerned with the payload issue on my FX4 at 1319#. Thanks.

Had a 1,300 lb payload on my Titan and decided to sell it and get a bigger truck.

Especially with a camper on the back!

Well, I can't technically change the payload, so I guess I'm over gross. But it seems to handle it just fine.

Sorry, I missed your post on the RPG and didn't understand what that was about. Searched YouTube and saw a presentation on the RPG bumps. Looks like a great solution from Hellwig. Let us know how that performs.
