Need a bit more payload on Ram 2500.

Needing advice from the pros. I am about to purchase a new Ram 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins. For 2015 the best payload I can get (according to the documentation) is about 2600 lbs. The towing capacity is 17K lbs. and that is more than enough.

We are also considering a new 5er later in the year, and the models on our short list have hitch weight of 2000 – 2400lbs.

With the Ram 2500 I will be cutting in very close on payload. I’ve looked at the Kelderman air system as an after-market add-on.

Will an after-market air system actually allow me a bit more payload?

Are there any suggestions for a particular brand or model?
