This relates to the guy that tried to carry a Lance Camper with a 2500. Last I heard RAM might have bought the truck back. The first drawings of the 3500 rear air that RAM put out showed the air bags way inboard and I questioned that a lot on forums. The production air system ended up with then out closer to the wheels.
The problem with using after market air bags to make up for weaker springs is that if you loss one with a taller load, you create a real handling situation.
Again this a new buy situation with an opertunity to do it right the first time. Chris
