New tow vehicle - Heavy Duty - WDH or not?

[crazyro]

Hi folks. After enjoying our Mega Cab for a while, we have upgraded to my dream truck - a RAM 2500 w/ the 6.4 HEMI, crew cab, long bed. I'm new to the "true" 2500 world (our MC was rated as a 1/2 ton though it looked like a 3/4) and am seeing conflicting info - do I need a WDH or not?

Also, help me here. If I do keep my WDH, would a reducer work fine or should I get a 2.5" shank? (new to us truck came with a class V hitch setup) I may end up needing a taller shank as this truck is lifted a little.

Much appreciated.

Here's our Lima:

I use a WDH with a 8K TT and 3500 RAM. I have been leaving the sway control off recently. You will need an really long drop hitch. I use the OEM sloppy 2.5 to 2" insert adapter.

Specs on RV? Length weight.

What load range truck tires?

For " Stealth Camping " I assume !

Hi there,

I use a weight distribution hitch (Husky Center Line) with the combo in my signature. I like the idea of it, and certain kinds have built in sway control as well. I see it as a little extra insurance.

Thanks!
