I have a set of shocks that could fix that for you.... adjustable rebound helps a lot with the big meats.
But you're right, the weight is something we dont always consider when moving up in size.

From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.

YES! I have thought this and never seen anyone test for it. Think about it, the longer contact patch introduces a longer lever. Think Archimedes and his lever to move the earth.
I spent the last 2 days in my garage working on my camper replacing the wheel bearings, then fixing a broken faucet.
We were supposed to leave on Monday for our Route 66 trip, but I was working at an event all weekend for work and didn't have time to check over the camper until Monday. When I pulled the wheels and hubs off, the bearings didn't look good and I didn't want to chance it so I spent the day changing them. So, we were going to leave Tuesday, but we discovered the kitchen faucet was broken and leaking, so we lost another day while I drove to the closest RV store in CT to get a new faucet, then install it, then packing the rest of the day.
We finally left today, but not till later in the afternoon. Stopped at the Cat scales after crossing the border into NY, and everything looks good. Well within limits, and the Lightning tows the camper like a dream. Nice and stable and smooth. Tonight we are at a campground in central NY. We arrived with about 25% battery SOC, and luckily the campground had a pull-through site with both 30A for the camper, and 50A where I plugged in a charger I brought with me and I'm getting free charging overnight.
We just beat an approaching thunderstorm when we set up at the campground. I'll try to send a few pictures tomorrow.

Congrats on working through it all and getting on the road safely!
Have fun on your trip! Just curious, what camper do you have? I’ve been looking into them myself lately… and the choices are dizzying.
