Which air bag system for 2015 Ram DRW
Been thinking of installing airbag system on my 2015 Ram 3500 CTD DRW to level out truck with TC loaded. Had air lift 5000 system on my previous 2006 Ram CTD 2500 and although I liked them and held up...

This is very interesting. I also have 2015 RAM DRW truck, and have been looking at airbags too. Same reason; just to raise the rear to normal 'loaded' level when 'max loaded'. Then the truck is level front to rear, and the headlights aren't pointing skyward, the camper is level, etc.
Curious why some think stableloads are a better way to achieve this over air bags.
Not necessarily better, but generally more "stable". Hence the name....
When you load your truck and the weight engages the entire lower spring pack(bottom leaf) and the overload leafs, the spring rate is much greater and there's a lot less side to side body roll.
If you load the truck down then pump the airbags back up to get it back level or close to unloaded height, you're not using all the springs. Air bags will hold the load up but for a high CoG load like a TC, the nature of the air bags is they'll have some flex in them.
It's not the end of the world, drove mine to AK and back with just bags but had a lot of body roll.
Added a sway bar and made some lower "stable loads" and it rides much better, less body roll.
