With the Chevy/GM/Ram trucks there is no difference between the 2500 and 3500 trucks other than the number of rear leaf springs in the pack and whether you can get DRW on the truck as DRW available only with the 3500 models.
Negative!!
2014-and-up 2500 Rams have a coil spring rear suspension. It would be fine, BUT - they mounted the coils inboard of the frame.
That effectively gives the chassis a very narrow platform and it’s inherently unstable with a top-heavy load like a camper.
The 3500s have leaves like every other 3/4 or 1-ton pickup, the advantage being they’re mounted outboard off the frame rails, effectively giving the chassis a wider stance and they’re much better with a camper.
A friend of mine gave up his Chevy Duramax and bought one of those coil spring 2500 Rams. He put his camper in and it pretty much tried to kill him.
He turned around and went back home and never loaded the camper on that thing again.
