The five link rear suspension is nothing like the Chev's of history. The new Ram 2500 rear shocks are wide set. They actually mount through the centerline of the frame members.

Now were getting close to what we lost when the Dodge V10/8.1 GM and Fords V10 was dumped from the pickup market. When the new gen 6.2/6.4 start putting out 450-475 ft lbs I can see one sitting on my wifes side of the garage.
I had mid/late '60s GM 1/2 and 3/4 ton with the coil springs. Lets hope the Rams coils ain't nothing like them as they were flat dangerous with a high COG truck camper in the bed. The coils couldn't control body roll even with a double shock set up.
