No Idea how well it works with a slide in camper.
Here is a pic with over 5K sitting on the rear axle. It will look the same with 6.
Nice! So, is what I've read on the Ram forums true and the truck doesn't ride better unloaded than the same truck without factory air? Unloaded ride improvement would be just as important to me as self leveling.
The front axle is no different but there is an improvement to be had by changing the front shocks to Bilstein 4600's. I did and the front axle ride did improve. The rear air ride is an improvement over the non air but the difference is not amazing it's just better.
What I LIKE about the air ride is if you don't touch the "alt" ride button after having a load on the truck it will ride around without a load and have the same stance as in my pic with 5K+ on the truck. I hate trucks sitting "AZZ" high in the rear. The loaded ride is great!
For the 1,300 or so the rear air costs it sure is well worth it in my book. If you think what it costs to add compressor, bags and in cab controls and not have it fully integrated the factory option is a steal!
