A little, but I would think that's the Bilsteins...

After all, it's supposed to be an "off road" truck... I think it rides great, and this is from me coming off of a 14 Air ride Laramie...

I am not complaining. I expected it somewhat, but just was curious what others thought. I do love the Air Suspension though! And it hauls the boat around with ease. Plus I managed 15 mpg towing the Porsche and Mini around which I could barely feel back there!

^^ this! Its the only downside of the truck. Yes it rides great and has great payload but those air shocks are expensive to replace. I wish they just threw in some Bilsteins..

Also.. for anyone wondering the "RAM" crazyness on the tailgate is just badging, I originally thought they embossed the tailgate. I was talking to my dealer about them and he said "yea, we got one out back. go take a look" I ran out there like a kid on Christmas and the first thing I did was looked to see if it could be removed - and it can!

You can remove the letters, however there are two locating/alignment pins on each letter and you guessed it two holes in the tailgate for each letter. The tape on one of my letters from the factory was not adhering properly so they had to remove and re-tape it. Picture below for reference.

That sucks. So you're stuck with it, or you have to find a way to fill in the holes. Maybe some red LED'S would fit in there. :)

I have a black one also. I have had it for a month. I am looking for lift/leveling kits for it and can't seem to find any. Does anyone know a company that makes one?

If I remember correctly, no one makes a lift for them because of the air ride. You'd have to do a body lift, and I would think any ram body lift would work?

I picked up a black on black one last week and I love it. So far have:
mopar hard folding tonneau
lund 5 inch oval side steps
flowmaster exhaust
pioneer upgrading sub
led interior
husky floor mats
weathertech window visors

have almost 400 km on the tach so far

Had no trouble last year at all. it's a closed system with nitrogen, shouldn't really freeze up. I'm southern ontario and last winter was pretty darn cold
