This past weekend, i was asked to tow a 1977 corvette to an auto show here in buffalo ny. I pulled it on an open car trailer and all i can say is wow!!
My Ram had absolutely zero sag with the bags set at 15 lbs.
I also set the tire pressure on my load range E tires at 50 lbs.
As usual, with the factory brake controller, the truck stopped exceptionally. It also pulled like a champ, which i knew it would..even with the 3.21 gears. I got 13 mpg for the whole trip.
All in all, i have to give this air bag setup a big thumbs up!
Here are some puctures of the car i got to tow...

Don’t seem to have been much of a load. I’m curious about hauling heavier loads. I’m really glad you didn’t have any problems hauling a priceless piece of art such as that beautiful Corvette (my all time favorite body style)
Post a pic of the truck and pics of the bags. Where did you get them from?

Ill post some chassis pictures once it quits snowing...lol
Total weight towed was about 4000 lbs. I have towed just over 9000 lbs also, and the truck pulled that without problem also. I too, ABSOLUTELY LOVE my Ram!!! Effortless power on demand...especially evident with my pedal commander!!

Well, you boys are making me glad that I just ordered a PC for my '17 2500 CC LB 6.4 with 4.10s, MagnaFlow, K&N CAI. Wasn't sure how much of a difference something could make since it doesn't increase hp or lbs ft. of torque. Guess a good tune is next. Never stops does it.
