2016 Ram plus AF 1150 plus SuperSprings

[2BLAZERS]

So added SuperSprings to my truck this week and a BigWig rear bar. Here is a pic before the weight of the camper is on it.


Here is a pic of it fully loaded up. The SuperSprings are on the harshest ride for the most payload support. Empty it raised the rear of the truck 3 inches or so.


This last pic shows from the rear. The rear is still a couple inches higher than the front. Measuring the wheel well openings and the rear is 42'' high mid tire. The front is 39.5'' high mid tire.


I am installing a 2'' leveling kit to the front next week should get everything nice and level and give the front a little more clearance.

This is picture of the squat before SuperSprings.


And this is a picture of the squat before SuperSprings with the toy box hooked up.


The ultimate goal is to be pretty much level with camper and trailer all hooked up.

I update Memorial Day weekend after the front leveling kit is installed.

FYI - the only mod besides SuperSprings is the upper Stable Loads, which frankly are just not enough for the AF 1150 weight.

Cheers!

p.s. We're off camping this weekend but I'll answer questions when I can and when return to a computer 🙂

Yeah...I would try backing off on the SS before I added leveling kit. Bring the SS down a hole or two.
Might be just what you need...and it's free 😉

Level isn't necessarily a good thing. Its easier to level camping with blocks for 2 wheels instead of 4. Also, there could be a mileage impact because the angle of the front is different.

Agreed.

OP, unless you're strictly after looks, leaving the front stock will allow the suspension to work better, as the control arms are closer to OEM geometry. Adding a leveling kit will also push your stock shocks closer to max length, which means it'll top out more and give a harsher ride, unless you get longer shocks.

Same for the rear - look into longer shocks if you haven't already, or you'll be operating the OEMs at very close to fully extended all the time.
