Just took my 22 ram 2500 to dealer because it wobbles when pulling my fifth wheel wen going over bumps. Sometimes you have to slow down to get it to stop. Wife not happy. Dealer said this is normal when you have the air suspension. Seems funny that a 2500 is for pulling and now they say it wont work with the optional suspension. Not a happy customer

The 2500 suspension has the springs (either coil or air) inboard of the frame rails, so it struggles with stability with a heavy bed load such as a 5th wheel. Most people pulling 5ht wheels use 3500s for this reason. The best fix is to add helper airbags which replace the bump stops and thus sit outside of the frame rails. These will increase side to side stability immensely.

The dealership is lying. I pull a 5th wheel with my 2500 with factory air bags. My ram does not wobble. For reference, I pull a 5th wheel with a 10.5k gvwr.
