    Camper towing

    I pull a 26 travel trailer with my 1500 3.21 gears. Power no problem. Add Airlift 1000’s to stiffen up the springs. Added sumosprings also. Helps reduce or eliminate pogoing. Use a Blue Ox weight distribution hitch. All works well together. Trailer weighs about 7500 - 7800 loaded.
