Need some help with 07.5 Chevy 4500

I need some help! My boss bought a new 4500 crew cab and we have custom built a trick flatbed for it and he has got a slide in camper on it. It is all tricked out. I will try and get some pics.

We have a couple things we need to do to it.

1. SHOCKS! Where, what brand of aftermarket shock can we put on this thing for hauling loads? The OE units are junk and are not handling the weight.

2. Engine Performance? Looking for a mild HP increase. Use a Tuner? What kind? It has the DPF on it also. I don't think he want to pull the DPF for warranty

I am not familiar with the D-Max at all so some help would be appreciated.

THanks

I would look into some airbags for the suspension.

We already put some airbags on the rear of the truck. Mostly having problems with the front of the truck.

The camper is a Host. Host Campers | Everest

I may just call Bilstein directly and see if they have an application for this truck.

Thanks, we will look into the DPF delete package.

Just to follow up I found new front progressive rate spring packs from Deaver springs and some 10" 2.5" piggyback King shocks for the truck today, they are on their way up here now. This should ride alot better.
Now on to performance mods......
