Ram 2500 rough ride question
I own a 2018 RAM 2500 CTD and I have a question about the rough ride. I've had quite a few 1/2 ton trucks but this is my first 2500. When I first purchased the truck I noticed a shimmy when driving on...

If you compare a coil 2500, it has more payload than say, a 2012 leaf sprung 2500, in nearly every cab / bed configuration. Spring constant is spring constant, if it's high enough to carry a heavy load, it will be stiff!
I would point out the the coil 2500 is on the newer HD frame that the 3500 got in 2013 and the 2500 in 2014, which allowed for higher GVWRs. I believe the frame had more to do with the ratings increase than the coils. And tires! 18" or 20" rated to 3640 each became standard on most trim/model levels of the SRW trucks. RIP 17" tires and wheels. Chris
