No more training wheels
So my 2012 RAM 3500 was in the shop for two weeks with a P0420 CEL. Turns out that it had to do with a cat, and the part was on back order, not scheduled for release until late August. I spoke wit...

Bigger tires are for aesthetics. They won’t be huge but I’ve never been a fan of stock size.
You want the truck to set "LEVEL" and ride on the overloads. Yes I get flashed at times but oh well! I set 55" top rear bed to ground with factory rear air. LOVE it!!!
But FWIW, it looks like it's sitting a bit low in the rear. The truck that is.
100% disagree! Loaded you want the truck on the overloads that is what they are there for. They stop a lot of bouncing.
Pic could be deceiving. I highly doubt the truck is setting low rear with at the most 2,400# pin weight.
How does your truck sit when loaded? With the air suspension I’d assume that it sits at the same level as empty.
I’ve had 4 vehicles with OEM air suspension, and they all sat at the same level wether loaded or empty. That’s why I will go to airbags.
And the photo is not deceiving. I measured it. The truck settles 2 1/4” with the trailer on it.
I appreciate the comments about aligning the headlights but doing that would be a compromise for visibility of loaded vs unloaded. And it doesn’t change the way it looks.
Apparently some like the saggy look. I don’t.
