New Truck Suspension Enhancements

Well I finally decided to upgrade my 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 Duelly to a
NEW 2014 Dodge Ram Diesel Laramie Longhorn, crew cab 4x4 long box to haul my Lance 2013 1172. I did not get the air suspension on the truck and I had Torklift stabil loads and Firestone air bags on old truck. So my question is this: What if any additions to the new truck would
make hauling the 1172 better than the way the truck comes equipped from the factory. I am going to put on torklift truck tiedowns, fastguns, and super hitch. So what if any suspension enhancements would be recommended with this truck? I deleted my signature because I need to update it....

I would load the TC first and make a run down the road and then make a decision if any thing needs to be done. No cents/sense wasting money on something thats not needed.

Before adding air bags you might want to consider timbren's so you don't have to mess with airbags. If the 2014 Ram's increased their suspension in the leaf pack, then the timbren's would probably be all you'd need (and they're easy to install and forget about). I have the same camper on my 2011 Ram 3500 and it carries it beautifully.

The same type of enhancements work on the more capable truck, but you may not need them.
