This has probably been asked a million times in the past but, here she goes anyways.........
We have a 2007 Jayco 29BHS ordered and it should arrive most anytime. This rv has a dry weight of approximately 5,600 lbs & 30ft long. Here's the kicker.... We own a 98 Chevy x-cab 2wd 1/2 ton with 5.7 v8 and 3.42 gears.
If any of you guys have ever been, or currently in my position, I'd value your advise whether it is worth the effort and expense to change to 3.73 gears....not to mention heavier shocks. Our truck, which we purchased new, has 60k miles and runs like a champ. I'm just concerned about the safety factor...brakes / sway. Get a 3/4 ton, or can the 1/2 ton do it? Thanks in advance.
