Thanks Tranz yep everything u mentioned is exactly what I found to be correct. I didnt need the camper anymore and I really do like the truck so bye to the camper. Im about ready to get another truck but I think Im going back to springs the ride difference is def noticeable but I feel better knowing Im not gonna pop a bag or a fitting goes out. I wish they did put a more aggressive system in it but after talking to my bud at the dealer its not in the cards and Im not knowledgeable enough to redesign it using after market stuff. Too much computer involved if anything I would go to a lowrider type control system and rip all the Ram stuff out but its so inter woven in the main system Its tough
This is a crew cab truck that has seating for 5 grown men. Remember that the people in the truck take away from available payload.........

And if those "grown men" are overgrown, the payload drops even lower
If they average 200# then you are at payload. can't even take the boat with you..
So does it mean everyone has to buy a f-350 dually to just pull an 18ft bass boat?

I wouldn't sweat it. I would be more concerned with braking than with towing. It's not often that any of us would have 5 full grown men in our truck when we're towing our bass boats
Now, if it was a bigger saltwater boat, then we might want to look at it a bit more closely.
So I've been trying to absorb all this as I am looking to find a vehicle for my wife to drive and still be able to pull my boat. She has done it for 11 years with several trips to south Texas using her Jeep Liberty Diesel.
So far all I have been able to find in the size of vehicle that she wants is the Mercedes-Benz 350 GLE. It has a tow capacity of 7200 pounds and my boat weighs close to 5000.

So what, pray tell - are you towing with a Mercedes....if I may be so bold to ask?Mercedes does make a nice SUV with a pretty decent tow capacity and a diesel
