Going From RAM 2500 6.4 HEMI Gasser to either RAM 2500 6.7L C or RAM 3500 6.7L C What do you all think, is there a huge difference? Currently pulling 29RKS jayco tt Looking to get a 5er about 14...

It used to be a simple decision... get the 1 ton because they both ride the same empty and the 1 ton can carry more weight.
Ram made the decision more difficult with coil suspension on the 2500, making a softer and smoother ride than using leaf springs.
That being said, with the heavy Cummins and the prospect of towing a 5er, I would STRONGLY encourage you to look at the 1 ton trucks. If you can afford the factory air option, I would tell you to take a back-to-back test drive with the leaf and air ride on the same route and compare the empty ride.
I would agree on the back to back comparison. BUT Make sure both rigs have the SAME air pressure in all 4 tires. If testing a Dually have them lower air to 40psi on the rears.
Where the 3500's rear air ride shines is when towing. For comparison the first pic is with the truck already in the ALT trailer ride mode. So you can see the rear air ride maintains a level towing platform even with 9,580# on my 4 rear tires.
