I use my air bags just for leveling side to side and need them. I 'm sure that they would need to be removed to install the RAS system. I think my stock camper package overload leaf would also be in the way of the RAS System.
When I replaced my rear anti sway bar with the Roadmaster it was a huge improvement. After several trips on twisty mountain highways I replaced the front, it also made a big improvement.
I'm still planning on going to a heavier load rated tire and wheel combination as I’m right at the limit.
What are you running for tires now?
Tx, Bill
Well up until yesterday I was running the stock 245x75R16LT load range E rated at 3040 lbs per tire. I bought a Vision Heavy Hauler Wheel set up with 245x70R19.5 load range G rated at 4540 lbs per tire.
So far I’ve been very impressed as the ride isn’t bad and it drives a lot more stable, I can’t wait to test them fully loaded on the mountain highways.
The new tires are a little over three inches larger in diameter than the stock tires, but they have plenty of clearance on my Ram. The new rear high rake was very noticeable, I think the old rear tires were bulging at the sidewalls so much that it was riding a little lower in the rear.
Sweet...are those hub-centric?
Bill
Well it appears that they are hub centric on my truck equipped with Dana 70 & 60 axles. I thought it all lined up too easy when I mounted them yesterday, I guess it depends on what axles your truck is equipped with as their web site shows centric rings for some trucks that have smaller diameter hubs.
This is still a little confusing as it still uses tapered seat lug nuts, but so did the stock oem wheels.
