Hi all, first off really like to forum and look forward to joining.
My dilemma here is the payload capacity for power wagon (slt model). I purchased my first PW on Friday and on Saturday found out the payload capacity is only about 1500, however I noticed the payload capacity on the Laramie model PW is 3100. So how can I increase the payload of my new PW? I am thinking air bags or sumo springs and call it good, but how bad is that for the articulating coil's in the rear of the PW? Why is ther a difference in payload between models? Also, my thinking is worst case I trade in the PW rear coils for standard rear coils (lose the flex in rear but gain payload, everything else should be the same right axle load, brakes etc....)
Pleas help????
BTW, love the PW so far and can't wait to take it to the mountains (after I fix the payload issue) 1500lbs is nothing, younger weight of pop up camper is 600 all 4 passengers and dogs etc... 700, now load the bed of the truck under 100lbs is not possible.
