Dealership fixed my manifold bolts!
Soo sorry but this is not true. All of the big blocks are prone. Cheap manifolds, aluminum heads against cast iron manifolds, and quickly shutting off after a hard drive are the cause. If you let the engine idle a bit (like a diesel ) you may avoid the problem.- David Skinner

Bought a leftover 2018 3500 Ram
Congrats BD! From looking at the pics, I would think the airbags are appropriate. It looks like the front is higher than the rear now.
