This is our new set up!

I love my new Ram 3500 Laramie 4x4. What a "Beast" for towing!

This pic was taken just before I hooked up the WD...but I will say it still doesn't sit level even with 1500# bars. I have the snow plow package and from what I understand that comes with the 350 front springs so the front end is real stiff and doesn't want to sit down...probably need to do an add a leaf in back or air suspension.

Air bags are the answer! I added aftermarket air bags to my new Ram 3500. I drop the pressure to about 30psi when not towing. Smooths out the ride as well.

Ford SD 250 sag. They lengthened the springs and went to only 2 leafs for ride and comfort. After a few thousand miles on the odometer most will sit level with no load.

From reading many owners will put in the bigger 4" block from an F350, add a helper spring, timbrens, or bags.

Bags for mine. I have the camper package and it would squat down into the overloads pretty good even with wdh hooked up. With 30psi in the bags it sits perfectly level.

Yeah I'll probably end up with some Ride Rite bags before next season rolls around....hopefully I can get them installed myself

I installed the ride rites on my 15 F350 this summer, it wasn't a difficult job. You shouldn't have any problem.

I had the Ride Rite bags on my F150 but installed the Airlift LoadLifter 5000 system on my F250. I think I prefer the RideRite's, but the LL's were on sale for over $100 less. No complaints with either system.

Just a few toys...wife and I use to travel all over the country on our Harleys...but in 2012 she had a Kidney Transplant that allows her to ride but not long distance. So we upgraded to a DP so we can pull somewhere and unload and ride all day.

Hill City, SD

Older setup --- but both run and look great!

2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab - Hemi, Off-Road Package and 3.92

2004 Coachman Spirit of America 248TBG

We love the setup, price, comfort - but not the gas mileage!

(Note the view in the reflection of the mirror!)
