"New Ram 3500 with the air assist does not sag at all when the trailer is hooked. It pumps that air up lifting the truck back to say height as empty, not a good thing. Alt Trailer Height mode does drop it some, but it is only just under an inch"
I am guessing your 08 sat LOW in the rear when hitched. Your new truck sits LEVEL with a slight rake to the front when loaded as a loaded truck should. Your biggest problem is you have an older RV that was designed for lower sitting trucks.
I still say have a good fab shop incorporate your adapter to the hitch and you will lower by at least 2".
Riding nose high adds weight to the rear axle and could cause tire problems.
Update your signature, I was reminded to do so several times!
