kgb, airbags would be a nice addition, but not necessary, just go with new springs first off, then see if you want airbags.

The tires are all Super Swamper 42"x15"x16.5". The rims in front are 16.5"x12" wide custom dually rims. The rear rims are 16.5"x9.75" custom dually rims with wild offsets (NO spacers) to allow the tires to NOT touch. Yes it's over max width of 102" but I have never been hassled about being too wide...only for needing mud flaps LOL!!!

The camper is a 1994 Lance Squire 4000, 9'4". I chose not to go with longer than 9'4" due to the fact that I did not want an extended hitch setup, as I tow a barge that weighs 8500 lbs. If you don't tow anything heavy then up to a 13' camper would be no problem. As for being top heavy, yes it is, but as long as you realize you're not driving a Porsche and take it easy on the corners, no trouble. The 108" rear tread width helps also!

Check out my webshots page for more pictures of the dually and it's hitch setup.
