I need help with finding a lowering kit.
I have a 2016 ram 3500, DRW 4x4, white 6.7L turbo diesel, incomplete with a working flatbed. The flatbed has a goose neck ball hitch.
I am having trouble with the front tires. The are rapidly wearing on the outside tread. It is hastened by pulling my RV.
I asked the guy that changed my tires why this is happening? Getting only 10,000 miles out of a set of tires is becoming costly. He said the problem is caused by the flatbed, because it’s heavier than the standard bed on a completed ram 3500. When I asked a diesel mechanic friend about it, he further explained that when pulling an RV, because the weight is simultaneously pushing down the back axle and relieving the weight on the front axle, it causes the tires to also camber in, and this is what causes the premature tread wear.
My question is, is there a replacement or lowering kit for the front springs? On a guess I would like to drop the front at least 4 inches. All help is appreciated.
