It's pretty darn close to dialed now. I got a new set of isolators and cut 1 less ring off of them, and added a set of Apache Off-Road 1/2" coil spacers to the top of the springs. Rake measurements are below:
In the future, I'll probably swap the 1/2" spacers for 1" spacers, so it has 1" of rake unloaded/0 psi in bags, and is 0" rake loaded/25 psi in the bags. This will give me a little more wiggle room if there is more stuff in the camper or if I'm pulling something bigger like my tractor (5K+ on a trailer).
Also, the Anderson connector seems to be working from a driveway test. With the fridge and fridge fan running on DC and the GX hooked up and idling, I have 12.8V at the camper battery. It drops to 12.4V if the GX is unplugged. So I'm losing around 0.6V (4.5% voltage drop) from the GX alternator (~13.4V), but 12.8V should be plenty to keep the fridge cold all day. Hindsight 20/20, 8 or 6 ga wire for the Anderson would have been preferable to keep the voltage drop down.
| Hitch Load | Airbag Pressure (psi) | GX Rake (inches) |
| Empty | 0 | 0.5 |
| Empty | 35 | 1.5 |
| Camper | 35 | 0.0 |
