Calling all RAM 2500 fiver owners

I can't speak about the 5th wheel either but can tell you I've had my Jayco with approx. 1500lb tongue weight and golf cart in the bed and the truck still wasn't quite level, slightly above actually.
I'm sure a trip to the scale would have said I was over weight, which is ridiculous IMO. If everyone adhered to the absolute numbers for these trucks they wouldn't be good for much more then hauling sunshine.

Thanks IdaD. I understand your reasoning with the the 6.4 vs 6.7 payload. I look forward to others that have pulled with their 2500 coil suspension.

Do the Dodge/Ram trucks still get the "death wobble?"

I haven't bought a fifth wheel yet but I've had a pallet of wood pellets (a ton) loaded towards the back of the truck and there was hardly any squat and it handled the weight very well. A 6.4 truck in my configuration has a payload rating of around 3300 lbs and it has the same rear springs and it only weighs about 40 lbs less at the rear axle empty. Both are obviously the same as a comparable 3500 aside from the rear suspension.

I personally wouldn't have any qualms being loaded up to the RAWR, but others have different opinions I'm sure. Unloaded the ride and handling is fantastic - very comfortable daily driver and family hauler.

Edit - by hardly any squat, I mean it was still tail high and in a raked stance. The coils really don't deflect much under load.
