According to ALLPAR, the air bag suspension on the 3500 will be supplemental, so it will have the springs AND the optional air bag suspension....
"Ram 3500 keeps the familiar Hotchkiss leaf spring system, with a supplemental air suspension on SRW and DRW trucks, to avoid giving up the trucksโ best in class payload, gross weight rating, or towing capacity (Ram 3500 can tow up to 30,000 pounds and has up to a 7,320 pound payload, with a peak GCWR of 37,600 lb)."

Yes, the 1 ton is a 3500.
I just don't think you will be able to make this new suspension as stable as the current leaf spring setup. Stability is the reason I want a dually.

I always wait a year or two and than do my research from owner feedback. It might be a great improvement overall but I just don't want to be the "tester".

What happens if the compressor dies with the camper on?
