I have a 2018 3500 DRW CC with the factory air ride and pull two types of RV's and this is what I have learned. The air ride seems to ride nice, but with my slide -in truck camper (5000 lbs) and my boat (7000 lbs) bounces going down the highway and at times can be white knuckle to drive. To me that can be cured with shocks with better rebound. The other RV is a 40' fifth wheel toy hauler (18k) that tows like a dream all day long!

One other issue, the "Kneeling feature" of the air ride system sometimes won't work and I get the message "the load is too light", heck I have a 5k camper sitting back there! Any ideas? Eventually I can get it to lower but takes some screwing around, shut the truck off, pull forward twenty feet, etc.

What say the brain trust and if it's shocks what brand?
