    Air Lift 5000 Airbags on a Rebel

    Awesome post! I recently purchased a Laramie with these installed on the rear with the auto level system. Will be needing it as camping season is coming up. From what i see the coil spring rear ends on these squat fairly easily.

    Transmission Towing Temp

    Gearing up for camping season! "hopefully". Been doing some searching and as usual only seeing opinions on Trans temps and cooling system function on the 8HP75. I understand it uses a special oil and that it is rated for "lifetime". I want to keep a nice healthy trans under the pickup, what temp...

    Ram releases 2019 Ram 1500 payload and towing charts

    This confuses me. I have a 19' Crew Cab 1500 Laramie with the 6'4" box 4x4 with the Regular Hemi, 3.21 rear end. this chart states its payload is 1830lbs but in my door jam it says my payload capacity is 1318lbs. i wounder why there is a 500lb difference? :unsure:

    Payload capacity

    I am wondering the same thing. I recently traded my Silverado ExtCab 1500 LTZ to a Laramie 1500 Crew Cab that is rated at 1310lbs payload capacity. I have installed 5k lb air lift bags on the rear and put 10 ply tires on it. was curious how much "real world" capacity that increased for me. 2 or...

    Payload

    So what equipment effects your payload rating from the factory? :unsure: Tires and suspension components id imagine? surely the frame and rear axle would be the same from a laramie rated at 1300lbs and a tradesman rated at 1800 lbs?

    Is the Laramie seats real leather?

    I have a 19' Laramie 1500 with the "Leather-Trimmed Bucket Seats" and at first glance they are gorgeous. As the months go owning this the drivers outside "leather" portion seems to be peeling/flaking slightly at the seam? I am extremely mindful when entering and exiting not to cause excessive...

    Tailgate sticking

    I am having the same issue. Some days i really have to knock it around to get it to finally open. Plan on spraying some dry lube in the mech to see if they helps but havent gotten around to it.

    Hesitation Issue

    So it seems after the pickup has warmed up and you come to a complete stop "E.g Stopsign" and go to accelerate there is a hesitation "maybe .5 sec" with a sudden jerk and your off. This does not seem proper and is quite annoying and embarrassing for a pickup with 20k on it. is this normal with...
