2016 Ram 3500 SRW tire size
Looking at new trucks and notice that several new trucks are coming with 18 or 20" tires. I will be hauling a 4000 lb TC. Any preferences on size and why? Thanks in advance!

OK, in the case of the 3500, they use fewer leaves (I think it's only 1) to locate the axle, along with 2 or so "Half-leafs" that prevent axle wrapping. Then the air bags over the axle provide the primary support for a heavy load. So when you are unloaded, the airbags run a lower pressure and should give a softer ride. When laden, the airbags receive more pressure and return to the stock riding height.
I'm sure the airbags will be a maintenance item, but they tend to last a pretty long time.
Found a link to a trailer life forum where a member shows his 3500 air suspension setup: Trailer Life Link Of course it's this website with a different url on it, but this came up on google first and I was too lazy to find it here.
