His truck is not squatted any more than yours really. The difference is his is 2wd and yours is 4wd. Your truck looks lower in the rear than the front like his. I know you have more weight than what he claims to have but once you hit the overloads it takes a lot of weight to go much more.

A 2wd pick-up looks funny when loaded up because they already sit so low.

The new RAMs do not have the old style overloads where they hit pads on the frame. The 3500 actually has fewer leafs vs the 2500. Just thicker leafs. Chris

Here's roughly 3000# on my 2500 when the suspension was stock with the hitch at 6" behind the axle. 3" of squat

What IS the GVW of his 5er? I tried to find it, but never did.

Agree...

Does the OP have a Mega Cab? If so then the payload ratings are lower IIRC.

Looks like a 2x4 quad cab LWB, that is dragging on the ground, with just 3200 lbs of pin weight! Chris

So now we have two to compare visually. Thanks to all that helped! I can't seem to load on this site.

I have 4,500# pin weight. My rear axle weighs 8,780#. I have a big tool box with two honda 2000's and about 150# in other tools plus the companion B&W. I think my truck sits level and has no air bags in pic.

So from what I see the op must have a bunch of rocks from Quartzite in RV and a big fuel tank in bed?

OR>>>>>>> IS the hitch TOO far back??? Is it positioned correctly in the bed of the truck???

THOUGH it will be too late...Next time I hitch up to my 5er, I'll take a shot and try to post here to show another comparison....again, my 5er weighs in at 16,050 with a pin weight of 3300#.....will also recheck that weight next time I hook up...
