Re: 2500 Ram with coil springs carrying TC
I haul a 2500 lb (empty) camper, probably close to 3000 lbs ready to camp. I have a 2015 Ram 2500 with the 6.4 Hemi and coil springs. the only mod I did was replace the bump stops with Timbrens and it handles great. My truck has a 3200 lb payload rating and the truck sat right at level with the camper on before the Timbrens were installed. All the Timbrens do is add stability. Have been running this setup for 4 years and have no issues.833Views0likes0CommentsRe: Couch, or No Couch
We have a 26ft bunkhouse with a couch and would not be without it. In fact, that was the main reason for going with this particular trailer. I like not having to always sit at a dinette and it gives more sitting room for the whole family instead of being cramped up at the dinette.225Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ram integrated brake control

As we have previously mentioned it works fine for trailers under 12,000lbs. Actually, YOU said that you BELIEVED it works fine below 12,000 lbs- there was nothing to conclusively say that previously in the thread. I, like a lot of others with "light" trailers on here were just trying to help by giving our experiences for comparison.296Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Truck tailgate camera
I have the 2500 with coils and only added Timbrens to it. The back end sits about an inch or so above level with approximately 3000 lbs of camper in the bed and rides great. As far the tailgate camera goes, it is awesome when hitching up my travel trailer- glad I have it. Pat423Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2500 Ram coil springs
I traded in my 1998 Chevy for a 2015 Ram 2500, 6.4 Hemi (with rear coil springs) and it handles my camper just fine without any mods. My camper is around 2800 lbs ready to camp and the truck has a 3200 lb payload rating. I don't see why people are scared of coils as opposed to leaf springs, the coils on the truck are designed to handle the stated payload. Pat511Views0likes0Comments
