16' F350 & Forklift StableLoads ride Quality

I purchased a F350 Dually to carry our new Lance 1172 Truck camper. Air Bags are necessary to maintain the Side to Side weight differences but I also want to use the Trucks Over Loads to maintain Level.
When the Camper is off the truck how will the Upper StableLoads affect my empty everyday ride ??

Sorry for the Spell Check in the Title .. Forklift should be Torklift

Just take them off. Takes less than 5 mins. Truck will ride really rough if you don't.

Use a floor jack and a piece of 6x6 and lift up the rear of the truck by jacking beneath the box hitch receiver. Don't raise the tires off the ground, just put the suspension in full droop. Then either put the stock frame pad bushings back on, or order some thin energy suspensions bump stops with a 3/8" stud and drop those in when not hauling. That's what I do.

Just like I don't leave the mirrors extended and the tires at 80 psi. All part of going camping and returning.
