Question:

I noticed on specs it says I have to remove overload spring to install the road master 3611. If so This kinda defeats the purpose I would think .

For fifth wheel towing it really is going to depend on the weight of your trailer whether you would want the standard duty RoadActive Suspension Kit part # RAS3611-S or the HD version part # RAS3611-SLHD.

One big factor to consider is whether or not you have a dually axle. If that's the case the only fit is the HD version I mentioned part # RAS3611-SLHD which most likely would be best fit since fifth wheel trailers can be pretty heavy.

If you have a lighter trailer relative to the towing capacity of your truck and a non-dually the standard duty part # RAS3611-S is the best option.

The factory overload spring of your truck would need to get removed to install the RAS, but with this kit you basically are installing a much stronger and better designed overload spring so it makes up for it and "then some." I attached a picture I took from the instructions that show this portion of the instructions.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
