Other options?.......AIR SUSPENSION! :E :B. Starting in '14 RAM offered a factory air suspension with auto leveling feature in the 3500's. I'm sure the metal sprung suspension would carry your TC just fine, but the idea of a smooth air bag system with multi-link axle sounds awful nice. My truck has the 5-link coil suspension and it rides super smooth, even when I have the pin weight of my 5er resting in the bed.
There are not enough truck campers using the OEM air bag suspension that I would be confident in suggesting it, yet. These campers are heavy with a tall CG and there few upgrades available for the bagged suspension if the ride needs adjustment. We still do not know what the longevity or reliability will be of these new FCA systems, so let the early adapters get the wrinkles worked out of the system and gather some more feedback from the truck owners that are consistently hauling 2.5t+ in their beds.
