Probably opening up a rvnet can of worms here, but whatever.
I’ve heard and I believe that it is certainly less than ideal handling on a Ram 2500 with coil springs. And a short bed to boot. Makes sense. Springs are way inboard of the frame rails….
That said I know what a 4000lb camper is like on a short bed 3/4 ton with leaf springs. And put a lot of miles on them rockin and rollin down the road. Never bothersome, you just need to mind your speed in the corners…lol.
Has anyone got any firsthand experience with anything from a small popup, up to a full size newer 8-9’ hard side camper on a 2014 or newer 3/4 ton Ram?
Truck has bags already, could get a bigger sway bar. Or could get heavier coils. One or both are relatively cheap upgrades.
Kinda wanna get a TC again and stick it on the ole brodozer for Snomo-camping this year.
I have an adventurer 8ft camper on my 2500 with coil springs. I had to add air bags to take the side to side rocking which is really bad without the airbags. No issues with the bags pumped up.
