Thought you guys would appreciate this: 1974 Minnie Winnie (1 ton dodge van chassis camper with a Dana 70 dually rear) loaded weight rating ~9000 lbs that my dad is rebuilding. Rear end sagged about a foot, the entire thing is needing rebuilt, but he likes projects. Cut until we found why it's sagging    That's with the rear frame section on a jackstand to support its weight. The box section is butted up to the end of the van chassis frame on the right side in the picture, and the entire channel had collapsed. Yes, that is the rear leaf spring mount on a 9000 lb RV. No, there isn't anything else holding it on.

I wonder if a set of airbags to push the rear up and shift the weight more forward would be a reasonable solution? Seems like it would balance it out a bit and might get you down below your tire payload on the rear. Heavy fucker for sure, I'd be more worried about the what-if of blowing a rear tire than any wear from near-capacity use. Great work on the thing!
