Dodge ram payload
I have to ask this...how can my Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie with the 5.7 HEMI, and trailer tow package with the 3.92 axle have a cargo weight of only 1,100 lbs? This is the lowest I have read of any vehicl...

I'm still debating whether or not air bags would help my combination. I'm still within my limits and with my Equal-i-zer WD hitch, I'm perfectly level with the weight transfer bringing my front fender height back to exactly where it is before hitching. :C
I'm wondering if bags would work against the efficiency of the hitch in my case. :h

If you have a soft, wallowing ride even with your WDH setup, bags might help. Also heavy duty shocks, and the stiffer side walls of LT tires will help with tire squirm. None of these replace the WDH.
You adjust your WDH *after* any changes in your suspension though. So set the bag air pressure for the ride you want, then adjust the WDH to bring the front fender back to where you want it.
Thanks for the input. It rides rather well and it's really not mushy; I inflate the tires to their max. Having said this, it doesn't feel as stiff my Ram 2500 which is expected but the ride is a lot smoother. The 2500 did give me the flexibility of pretty much ignoring how I load stuff.
