I have friends with 6.4 HD trucks who say their fuel mileage is absolute crap. One guy even bought an older power stroke Ford to pull his camper because his towing mpg in his RAM was single digits.
Even with my lift, 35" tires, and off-road front bumper I still get 14-15mpg average on freeway...
I would try to find a local shop that specializes in frame repairs and talk to them. The shop that did the work is obviously going to say their repairs are perfectly fine.
60 amps is definitely not enough to run modern vehicles with all the electronics in them. Which is why alternator output are so much higher in modern vehicles than the old school 40 amp alternators used in the old school cars with points ignitions and lights being the only draw.
Hard to really tell from the pictures exactly what's going on. I would guess those are the points where they applied pressure to straighten the frame. I'm guessing you are worried about possible weakness it may cause for future towing?
It's not instantaneous self leveling. You won't notice as big of a difference with air suspension, but it still helps keep rear planted and less body roll in corner
More displacement takes more fuel to run. That's how it can be worse. Just look at the Chargersz Challengers, and Durango's. The 6.4s are EPA rated at lower MPG, and real world get worse. That won't change just because you put it in a Ram.

Take care of the truck and you won't have any rust issues. Undercoating/rust protection is your friend as well as good car washes making sure to get fresh clean water in all the common problem areas
2020 RAM with Hellwig rear bar(original) on tightest setting. No "head toss". Hit speed bumps at full speed with no issues. Even take the truck off roading and can hit obstacles at good speed. But significantly improved handling. There is a stiffer rear bar now, that wasnt available when I...
