Wife and I just purchased a new 29 ft. bumper pull RV, dry weight 5300 lbs. I have a 2007 2500 Suburban and a 2013 Nissan armada as my current towing options. Was initially going with the Armada, but am now considering the Suburban. It has had the front torsion bars jacked all the way up and 20" wheels put on it. The rear is just slightly lower than the front as it has been raised with blocks to some degree. The Suburban has a 5000 lb. Firestone bag system under it that I use to keep it leveled out.
The problems: The receiver is very high with the current raised condition, and the truck rides like a log wagon compared to the stock Armada. I have put Bilstein shocks on the front that are made for the cranked up torsion bars, and they did help some. I was worried about using a weight distro hitch with ta lot of drop. I have considered putting the vehicle back to stock height and stock size wheel/tire combo. It is longer wheelbase than the Armada and I think would be more stable with the long-ish RV. What would be good wheels to set it back down on, or should I leave it up and do something else to smooth it out? Any recommendations?
