At first glance I asked myself what the hell did ya weld on the back of er….then I saw it was the ramps of the trailer beside you.
That must be the world’s longest Jack-All you got there to.

Still looks a bit short compared to the suspension!

Upgraded from a 1500 a month ago as we plan on a bigger trailer in the next year. Got almost 400 miles towing our little Wolf Pup so far, its hilariously easy to pull with the diesel. Wish I had this truck this spring when we went on our 3K mile trip out west!

So here's my 2021 Tradesman 2500 6.4 and 2021 Heritage Glen 314BUD.

Towed it last season and she certainly was a bear on the road. Short trips of about 4 hours was tolerable but that trip from NJ to FL was no fun at all even with the weight distributed pretty good. Instead of messing with another WDH, I bought this gooseneck conversion from BP Conversions. Awesome guy in TX makes them. I removed the Sway Pro and mounted a B&W gooseneck in the bed. All hooked up she tows night and day versus bumper pull. Zero sway at 65-70mph and no big rig suck zone down the highway. Now it's just a comfortable drive like I wanted.

Hindsight, should have bought a 5th wheel. But since we love this trailer so much, I wasn't up to taking a loss on the trade-in for a higher price 5th wheel.

That is a great setup! Thank you for sharing!

This is the first trip with the new 2022 2500 CCLB 6.4 Hemi. Pulling a Jayco Whitehawk Travel Trailer.

I rented a lift for the week to stain the ol’ hacienda

So far so good. Just over 20k lbs all loaded up with the family for camping. Digital rearview mirror with the camera on the camper is an amazing feature.

I’m not sure if I’m asking this question in the correct forum, but I figured someone here may be able to give me a clear answer because it’s in regard to towing -

I just picked up my Ram 3500 DRW with auto-leveling rear suspension. From what I learned via Online videos, the dealer explained its operation totally wrong. What I “think” I learned is as follows:

1) To lower the bed (if needed) when connecting to a trailer, go to the 12” screen and select bed lowering mode. I tried it without actually hooking up a trailer and it worked. In order to raise the bed back up I touched the button on the screen again.

QUESTION - Will the suspension automatically raise back up when I drive forward if I don’t touch the screen button?

2) There’s a switch on the lower dash that reads “Alt Drive Height.” According to what I “think” I understood from videos is that this switch will actually lower the rear for better aerodynamics(?). What I’m trying to achieve is the prevention of squat in the rear when I hook up to a heavy boat trailer.

QUESTION - How do I engage whatever is needed to keep the factory ride height or will the air suspension do it automatically?

Thanks I’m advance for any responses! I’m really confused about this. Always used the AirLift system and wanted to try this system out this time instead…

1. Yes it will go to normal ride height once you go faster than 12-15mph

2. Alt ride height will lower the truck about 1" when hooked to a heavy enough trailer

It will level automatically with no action from you

So if I select “Alt Ride Height” and I want to raise the bed back up an inch, will pressing the switch again bring it up?

Also, does the selection on the screen do the same thing as the switch on the dash?

My knowledge of the rear air on a 3500 came from my 2018 truck, which did not have the bed lowering mode, and other options in the radio. My new truck should be delivered in a few weeks so I haven't seen how it's set up in the radio

Thanks very much for the info Joe!

I’m going to be hauling my boat up to NY from North Miami Beach next week. I’ll post a pic when hooked up!
