Good Evening Everyone,
Curious if anyone here that has the factory air springs in a 2500 is carrying 1k lbs constant weight and what your experience is. Also was hoping to hear if anyone has any experience with max GVWR with the factory Air Springs.
I have a '22 2500 with the 6.5 bed. The plan for this truck is to remove the bed and install a MITS Alloy Aluminum flat tray with canopy. I am going to try and keep the factory air springs. This way when the canopy is removed the air springs can adapt to the lack of weight. I am not sure how they will handle the constant load weight though. I have already ordered the lift kit that will retain the factory air springs. Just curious before I head down this path if anyone has any experience with the constant weight.
I am fully prepared to swap over to springs in the rear if this doesn't work out but I am really hoping that it works like my brain thinks it will.
Not my picture but here is a similar build that my finished product should look close to.
Thanks in advance for any input
Ryan
