Thanks Jim!
We were concerned and called Lance directly. They assured us that as configured our truck was well within specs with full load but not counting what we added to beyond that. They pointed me to a build they did with similar truck configuration here https://www.lancecamper.com/altimeter/ Right now we are at 6,753 for curb weight. Don't have rear sway bar and was going to see how it handled first with the air-bags before adding one. The original plan for the truck was an 'Overland Build' which is the reason for a $10k suspension which handles off-road unbelievable. So it looks like we will be close to max but not quite. I'm happy we have E-rated tires at 3750 each which will keep us within GAWR.

No rear sway bar? That won’t be just an easy test, that will be a scary drive and you will actually wonder if you are about to roll over. After the third heart attack you’ll promise yourself to install a sway bar before your next trip. Be sure to take some antacid with you - you’ll need it.
