The first truck was a second generation Dodge and the second truck a 4th generation Dodge. I'm sure the frame on the new truck is better and springs a little stiffer but I don't think air bags are a great option for truck campers unless each side is individually valved to stop the body from rolling. The timbrens take care of the roll issue and assist with the weight very well. Plus it is a simple system469Views0likes0CommentsRe: Which Spring Enhancement for Ram 3500 hd DRW crewcab longbed
I just went through this and for the price Timbrens was the cheapest, best and easiest option. I ran air bags on My old truck with a factory swaybar and overloads. It did OK. I upgraded the rear swaybar and it was much better. I ended up going with Timbrens on the new rig and at under $200.00, they were the best option. The truck handles the load much better than the old truck did. Hope this helps468Views0likes0Comments
