    Uh Oh... purchased an Airstream and don't know my GCWR

    Thank you that clears things up. So it looks like if I fully load the Airstream from 4761 dry weight to its 6,000 GVWR, I will come in around 12,809 on the Ram's GCWR (about 82% of max). The towing of 6,000 be at 64% of max, so I'm also good there. It's just the dreaded payload. To answer...

    I have a diesel with 3.92. Is it still 17,000? Where did you find that number?

    Uh Oh... purchased an Airstream and don't know my GCWR

    May be in a bit of trouble here. I just purchased a 23 foot Airstream after talking to my RAM sales rep first, who told me there would be no problem towing it due to max tow. Stupid me. Apparently my door jam payload is only 1,024. This won't work with a 650 pound tongue weight and four...

    Ram releases 2019 Ram 1500 payload and towing charts

    Which post?! I'm trying to figure out if my payload rating has improved after ditching the 22 rims to a rebel 18 with E-rated tires (Discovery AT3 XLT). My door sticker says 1,025 with the 22's on C-Rated tires, but trying to figure out how much it has improved by going 18 E-rated.

    BDS 4" air lift getting installed

    If you offroad then you want to be on steel. The only non coilover suspension I would ever use offroad is the Lexus 570 that uses a hydraulic suspension. If an air bag goes out and you are 10 miles on a trail, you are limping out on your bumpstops.

    Dethloff or Nuthouse are best made.

    Ram 1500 Snorkel

    Snorkels are not for water but for dusty trails where you are not the lead car. Try being 4th or 5th rig on a dusty trail and see what it does to your air filter without a snorkel.

    Air Ride System

    ARB twin air compressor. I ran 2/0 cable from the front battery to the terminal in the driver side rambox. Make sure you get marine cable and cover it with a corrugated marine protector. I then ran the control cable from the unit along the power cables to where my SwitchPros control unit...

    Stock Rebel Duratecs - Ouch

    Duratracs are well known for having weak sidewalls in the offroading community. I would look at IH8MUD or Expedition Portal for more info.
