2015 Ram 3500 factory air ride suspension
Does anyone have any facts or opinions on how the new suspension will work with large truck camper on a dually? I'm wondering if excessive sway will be a problem.

Any 4x4 with a snow plow prep package will get a "camper not recommenced" note in the glove box. Otherwise all 3500's will not have that note in the glove box, some 2500's might based on remaining payload.

Inch for inch the airbags will increase spring rate at a greater rate than leaf springs will. The same is true when unloading the springs, the decrease in spring rate is larger per inch than leafs..
What does that mean?? Well enter a corner and the inside bag will get compressed and increase spring rate, while the outside bag will expand and lose spring rate. When that happens sway is decreased.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a camper special option with a large sway-bar to further help with sway. It's something that has been missing, but needed, since 2002.
