Towing with 2014 Ram

You will have to transfer more weight somehow. Maybe you need stronger spring bars. Any thing else you do to raise the rear will NOT lower the front, or return lost weight to the steering axle. If you do not return lost weight to the steering axle. You will always have the same problem, EVEN IF you can level the TV with air bags, or springs. The front will still be light, and you will have sway.

So tilt the hitch head down and pull more weight with the bars. IF you do it right. You will transfer enough weight to the front to get it back down, and that will raise the rear. Truth is. You CAN raise the rear of the TV completely off the ground with a WDH. You don't want to. But you can. In fact. You don't want the rear to raise any higher than it was unhooked.

So readjust it again. You will prolly need to get it so tight, that you have to raise the rear of the TV, and TT tongue with the TT jack to snap up the brackets.

Again. Air bags, or springs will do you no good, will not fix your problem.

I'm with Terry on this. If you have a properly sized and set up hitch, your truck should sit level. Maybe lower, but level.

Timbren's

Check out installing a pair of Timbren's. Much less maintenance than the air suspension. I had them in my 2007 RAM 1500, and it the first modification that I made to my 2014 RAM 2500.

Air bags will fix the sag problem and shouldn't cost $1200.

I'm not familiar with that trailer. What is the loaded hitch weight? I am a MOPAR guy, but the 1500 doesn't have a lot of payload capacity. At the least you should confirm you are under the axle and tire ratings.

I put a pair of rubber supersprings in the coils of my Outdoorsman. They helped some, the real fix is a bigger truck or air bags. Soft springs make for a nice ride, but they only support an empty bed it seems.
