Looks great. I see you have air-ride. What level are you on in that picture? Looks like you at least have a level

Thanks, this was in normal level and no level links either. The 295/60's help the look though!

For sure! I have the same truck with no air ride and want to upgrade tires. Same rims as you too. What brand tires are they? How different is the ride and mpgs since switching?

They're Toyo Open Country a/t, I switched them after a couple hundred miles of owning the truck and didn't notice anything different on ride, MPGs of usually around 13 or so.
i have air bags to help with that.
What kind of towing setup did you use? Air suspension? Bags, WDH?

Added airbags with the lift?

Damn. I was hoping they wouldn’t do that. I’m averaging 16 over the 2500 miles I have on my truck. It’s steadily climbing too. Hoping to get near 17.5 after my oil changed at 5k
The lift makes the truck level it sags in the back when towing so i bought timbergrove airbags and installed them myself.

Its getting the same MPG as my 3rd gen I had with 3.92 gears and 33's , I only have 3500 miles on it (took delivery in Sept) so I would think the MPG will continue to get a bit better.

Finally had a nice enough day to take the boat out for a bit yesterday.

Well, I finally had the opportunity to tow with my new RAM....it was a pleasure
Thoughts: I have a fully loaded limited with air suspension. I was told on here to keep the car running when hooking up the boat and boy were the good folks on here right. As soon as I hooked her up she leveled off. A straight ball (no Drop) worked best for my rig and she sat pretty darn level. My best guess on my weight is 6000 lbs for the boat and trailer and about 600 or so for the tongue weight. I have the 3.21 gears and she towed it like it wasn't even there. No sway whatsoever. I can see how the 3.92 would be better for towing but I only move her a few times a year so I couldn't justify it when the 3.21 still kept the number in spec. Granted i didn't go more than the posted speed limit and I drive pretty conservative anyway. I was a fun trip with OutCast behind me taking a car ride!

Got our boat out of storage today. The truck towed it great.

Factory air? or did you just add air in the rear? If so what system did you get?

What kind of fuel economy do you get with the 3.5" lift and 35" tires?

I average about 15.5. Never get over 17 and towing is 9-11.
