Thats not much “squat” if the truck was not levelled it would likely be sitting close to perfectly level with the camper in the box.
Those old campers are much heavier than they look usually
I measured tire to wheel well. 9.75" in the front and 7.375" in the rear. With the leveler removed, it wouldn't look so squatted. I guess that's next. The front end doesn't float like a squatted truck so that's good.
The camper stays on basically from June through hunting season in the fall. I hate taking it on and off. I think I'll wait until I need to remove it to pull apart the front end. It's not a bother enough for me to elevate it on my priority list.
I'll check the shock length, but I'll likely just do new stock shocks while it's apart at that time. I like wrenching on the truck but hate doing work twice.
Thanks for all the help!!
And yes, the old campers are heavy, then I built a beefed up roof, added 250 lbs of battery, 80 lb solar panel and cast iron cookware.
