Another Reason To Not Have Airbags
I know this has been discussed to nauseum, but I am currently towing my cargo trailer that is combined weight of about 7K LBS, and some stuff in the bed of the truck and of course fuel and two bodies....

Lou, why in the HE!! do you need air bags on a modern DRW RAM with such a light load?
I am betting you are airing bags to put truck at unloaded ride height. Drop the air in your bags to 5psi and raise the ball to where the trailer sets level and carry on.
Your truck is designed to set level when placing a load on it and allow the overloads to start working.
This is NOT squat! My 11 DRW is riding level with 4,50# pin. NO air bags.
Truck riding LEVEL is NOT squatting. Lot's of spring travel left. How about this pic?
2nd to last pic is current DRW with air ride in ALT with 9,750# on rear tires. Squatting?
Last pic current truck in ALT ride. Squatting?
