So, I just bought a 2013 Ram 1500 Sport 5.7. I traded in a hummer H2 on it, and am used to pulling the trailer with the Hummer. It had the rear air suspension on it that auto leveled. Here is what I have done to the Dodge so far. Bilstein 5100 shocks all 4 corners, 2.1 inch level lift, Changed the tires out for Cooper Atp's, dealer installed trailer brake, and I have on order Airlift 1000 coil spring helpers. The trailer is 2500 LBS 20Ft long dual axle, and the Rzr's are 1000 each, so 4500lbs total, i'm thinking this should be NO issue, and it should ride pretty nice, and maybe get decent MPGs. Anybody else have a similar setup that can weigh in ? Thanks

I pull a 20 foot enclosed car trailer rated for 10,000 pounds, and weighing around 5,000lbs with no dramas. The air lifts are a nice addition though, especially to reduce squat when you have a level.
