This should settle the "coil spring" question

The problem with the half tons is the spring rate, not the type of spring. Ram just proves that with the 2500 gasser IRS with clearly higher rates and capacity.

Still have to see a large load on the back of a coil sprung 2500.. Like a truck camper, not a fifth wheel.

There were a few doubters :)

I think the fact that the 1500 (with it's rear coil springs) can be a bit saggy when loaded probably contributed to that thinking.

That is impressive. I didn't think Ram owners knew how tho use Photoshop :) Was there any doubt that the coils would hold up to their rated weight? I probably skipped that thread. The new style sure looks good in silver (my favorite color).

HERE IT IS

While interesting, it sounded like a Ford commercial.

The only problem I had was the left to right lean when carrying our 8 ft camper. This was on a 1962 GMC 2500. This was a while ago.
