I have the 2014 Ram 3500 srw with a Lance 865 on it which weighs approximately 2,600 lb, wet and lightly loaded. It squatted my rear 2- 2.5 inches and it is running almost level.

What wheelbase do you have?
So is your rear squat a little above or below level?
I measured an empty 3500 on the dealer lot with about 2.75" difference in the height of wheel openings. I assume that when those heights are equal it is level.
