'14 to '16 Ram Crewcab 2500 diesel towing which 5th wheels
What 5th wheels are you towing ? My Columbus 340rk states 1800 lb pin weight , which shouldn't be a problem .
Forum Discussion
Any engineers on here? Isn't a spring, just a spring, either coil or leaf? If it is meant to handle 2000 lbs, it should feel the same either way? I went from a 2011 Chev 2500HD to my current 2015 2500 Ram with coils and it's maybe softer ride, but I would have to drive one, then jump in the other over the same road to know. I think if you go to a Magacab 3500 you might find it ride as good or better than your CC 2500 as I think the longer wheelbase will help. Anyhow, this thread is getting a bit off topic from the OP.

Im guessing the jump to leafs really depends on the model ? My 3500 rides like a Cadillac unloaded and hardly settles with a little over 2K of hitch weight in the bed
Yep - 3500 = leafs, 2500 = coils.
From my understanding the air is just a supplement so it won't do anything to soften the ride. I use my truck mainly as a daily driver and even the coils are jarring. I can't imagine getting even stiffer (most who have driven both report this is the case). I also just like the way the coils track and handle. I remember when moving out of my old truck (2006 Duramax with leaf springs) the change to the coils was night and day in favor of the coils.
