    Bed mat for 6'4" Bed with Ramboxes?

    I use a stall mat for my truck. $35 and 3/4 in think. If it needs cut, a reciprocating saw works perfectly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2016 Ram trailer swaying

    Best thing I did was go to the CAT scales and set everything up with numbers to back it. We use an equalizer 4pt hitch, E tires, and a hellwig rear sway bar but nothing compared to just spending the time at the scales to set it up. We tow our 28’ bunkhouse that weighs 7100 loaded at 70mph with...

    HELLIG SWAY BARS

    Put it this way, with my “normal driving” of a truck, I’ve forgotten I even have it on there. Does it ad stability and assist with towing? I’m sure. But I don’t see the use for it really with the way I drive. We bought it at the same time as our equalizer wdh and I was doing a few small mods to...

    All the way tight. Started off in the middle then moved it to the closest setting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    HELLIG SWAY BARS

    It’s not that I dislike it, it’s just that I wouldn’t spend 210 on one again. I don’t think it did much of anything for the towing aspect and the truck is a work truck for me. If I was into more the street truck type scene then I could see the sway bar being more applicable. However for the...

    HELLIG SWAY BARS

    I’ll be the odd man out. I have the rear hellwig and my primary purchase was to assist with towing. You can tell it’s a bit stiffer, but I probably wouldn’t buy it again. It’s on there now so it’s not going anywhere but I won’t purchase one for my next truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Electric Steering stiffened up!

    Got it back today, it is the steering knuckle under the dashboard. Dealership said the part is on back order for about a week due to high demand for this part. Mechanic said the joint was extremely stiff, so he lubed it up and worked it around to get me by until the part comes in. Looking at...

    Electric Steering stiffened up!

    Thanks for the info. Praying it’s just a steering knuckle. It’s currently in the shop now so I’ll report back with the findings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Electric Steering stiffened up!

    Morning, in the last two days I’ve noticed that my power steering on my 2014 1500 seems to be a lot stiffer. The truck has the electric power steering and it is still working, just feels like it takes more effort. No noises, no lights, and the steering wheel still returns to center. Anyone else...

    Travel trailer weight advice needed

    I have the 3.21 8spd also and I tow a 32’ TT with a dry weight of 6400. Verndiesel is spot on with his advice. You can safely tow if you take the time to set the wdh up at the CAT scales and keep your camper load balanced. My loaded weight was 7100#. Don’t skimp on the wdh, I use an equalizer...

    Went to the Cat scale today.....

    I have the identical truck, including the airlift 1k, equalizer 4pt, and hellwig. I believe gross for the rear axle is 3900lbs, so yea it seems heavy on the rear. How’s the trailer sitting? I think you need to put more weight on the front steer axle. My front axle measured with truck only is...

    Hit the Scales with the 1500

    My short answer is no. I’ve hauled my neighbors enclosed trailer a couple times that was 4-5k loaded with construction materials. The trailer sits so low compared to my camper, plus it’s only 16’ long. So center of gravity is substantially better, plus wind will not affect it nearly as much. My...

    Hit the Scales with the 1500

    Tongue weight is 820, so right at 12%. All the weight plus 20lbs was put back on the front while still having 800 loaded on the rear axle. Loved the way it towed! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hit the Scales with the 1500

    Thanks for the great comments. We towed for 10 hours yesterday from Ohio to Gatlinburg. Several decent hills and cross winds of 15-20mph. The truck handled well, very well. It did do a little bit of shift hunting when we were driving straight into the wind, but that’s expected. I did not use...

    Hit the Scales with the 1500

    Incorrect, the hitch IS set up correctly. I did not post the pic of the weight slip of the camper hooked up but without wdh bars activated. You return the weight that the camper takes away from the steer axle with the wdh system. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It’s a 2018, absolutely love this camper. Very happy with the quality and craftsmanship. Only minor improvements to make the rig even better! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hence the time spent at the scale to set it up properly. Equalizer is a great hitch with even better customer service. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That weight was with 500lbs in passenger weight included, so she’s a little lighter by herself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hit the Scales with the 1500

    Spent a couple hours at the scales yesterday. My Ram is a ‘14 5.7 8sp w 3.21 gears. I’m using an equalizer 4pt hitch, towing a FR Cherokee 274dbh. I have the airlift 1k bags set to 20lbs, LT 10 ply tires at 70psi, Hellwig rear sway bar, oem brake controller and tow mirrors. Weighed in 4...
