Air ride suspension or not?

I currently have a F350 towing a Solitude 375RES. and don't have air ride suspension.

Looking at a new Ram 3500 do I get it or not? What do you like about your air ride ?

I would get it.. I have not heard any bad reports on it..If it is/was available on my truck when ordering I would have jumped on it.

If I was buying new I would have gotten it for sure, I was shopping the used market and couldn't find one.

I would also make the Ram a DRW, that 5er starts with a dry pin 2,900# with a 2,600# CCC, you will likely be at close to GVWR of 16,800# towing/carrying pin likely will be at 3,700#, which is very close to the TOTAL payload of a Ram 3500 SRW.

Mine has been flawless for 6 years and 82k. My pin weight is 6k and the truck sets the same loaded or not. Really nice ride either way.

Notice ride height is the same. Truck sets lower than most DRW's unloaded for easier entry/exit.

This post might be better suited for tow vehicles.
