Just be apprised that the RAM 2500's have coils out back and they are mounted inboard of the frame rails. Coils are a less than optimum suspension for trailering. Fine on a Buick, not so good on a pickup truck.
Myself, I have a 1 ton as a daily driver. 1500, 2500 35000 or larger has nothing to do with daily driving. In fact, I prefer the overall height difference, easier to see traffic.
This ^^ is complete BS.
As a former actual owner of a coil sprung 2500 and having tested it vs a SRW 3500 with the same 14k 5er, I can tell you the coil springs are very heavy duty. Also, I towed a 12k 5er with mine. Didn't need anything added to the rear to prevent sag.
