Ram 3500 and air suspension option
I am considering a Ram 3500 but am concerned about the ride compared to the 2500. One of the options is air suspension. I am trying to find out how this option affects the unloaded ride. I think...

I'm not sure what you mean by allowing the axel to droop off road. My rear axel has travel in it like any other axel would. What doesn't happen is when under a load the rear of the truck doesn't "droop" or settle down like spring suspension does. The controller arm maintains the predetermined level.
Example: My old '06 used to settle down about 3 or 4 inches once I was hooked up to our RV and stay there, now with the rear air, initially the rear of the truck drops under the weight of the RV and instantly air pressure is applied to the bags and brings up the rear of the truck to exactly where it was prior to putting the weight of the RV on it.
I will say the truck rides better loaded as opposed to empty.
