Not that hard but enough that I’m willing to tolerate some harshness at times. Also thinking of loading the bed enough so that the sumos sit on the axles. Sand bags or something. I think the issue in my case is that unloaded is not truly unloaded. I‘ve got a Bed Slide, Retrax tonneau cover and a...
OP here. Ended up putting in Bilsteins front and back, and Sumos in the back. Huge difference when towing. Super noticeable. Truck doesn’t bounce all over the road when hitting potholes or bad expansion joints.
That said, it is for sure making the ride harsher unloaded, like right now. Trailer...
lol
Yes, I know that much.
The specs above show two types of nuts for the shocks, tower and stem. I was asking about those two. What’s the difference between the two. To install Bilstein shocks on a 2021 2500, I assume I’m going for the stem nut spec, which is simply to tighten and then turn...
Thanks for this.
if I understand what you’re suggesting, air would help absorb suspension movement once the trailer is properly hitched up and WDH dialed?
I’m saying the front axle is 100# lighter with WD applied than the truck without anything on the ball.
My trailer comes in at 6450# and the TW is at 1000#. That’s on the higher end I realize that. Could be the culprit in your opinion?
Thanks and yep, I’ve done the weighing. Transferring 300# back to the front axle bringing the truck 100# from its unlashed up state. No expert but I think the WD is nicely tuned.
For Bilsteins, the right model would be the B6 4600?
Hey all.
Own a 2021 2500 Cummins Limited with no air suspension. I only use it to two my 25' Airstream (975# TW and 7300# GWVR).
I love the truck. We do a lot of long trips and the range is awesome. It's also very reliable. Haven't had one thing break down in over 30K miles.
That said, I'm...
To continue on the axle weight ratings theme, here’s mine (21 Cummins Limited, 6.4 bed) with the truck on a half tank and all cargo removed:
F 4960
R 3748
Thanks. Lowered front to 55 and rear to 50. Quite please with handling and ride now.
Question. Is AlphaOBD the only way to get rid of the resulting low pressure warning? Do dealers normally accept to modify the threshold?
Thanks. Tongue weight is for sure 950. Measured several times through different methods. Once I’ve played around with tire pressure a bit more, I may adjust the Equalizer but off by a thousand you think? The front axle should be heavier than the back, and by that much?
