One of the things I like most about air suspension is for the ability for it to keep the vehicle level when towing, loaded, etc.... My truck has a significant rake (like you'd see in an empty truck) all the time; I'd prefer it be level.
I've also noticed that the rear drops less than the front.
Some measurements (on a level garage floor); floor to wheel arch I measured to tires to wheel arch as well, but this seemed easier to reproduce and easier to measure)
Offroad (highest setting)- Front: 38.5", rear 40.5"
Entry mode (lowest setting); Front 34.5", rear 37"
So the front moves 4", rear is 3.5"
The rake is fairly significant; over a 2' level (on the bed) it is about 1"!
I'm still running the stock tires (too frugal to replace perfectly good tires, but I look forward to putting something a little bigger on when it is time. I might even go duratrac.
Other than the 12" screen flaking out at times (changing radio mode, dropping a call; neither frequently) I really don't have any complaints - rides nice, ridiculous acceleration (3.92 rear end helps), and no issues (again, other than the 12" screen and the non-levelness, but I suspect that is WAD (works as designed).
Editted to add - with my last vehicle you could get "Johnson Rods" for more lift. It appears the following might do the same for the Ram... anyone have experience with the company?

I'm not really looking to lift (well, maybe a little , just level it out better. I suppose I should see if the factory rods are adjustable... hmmm...
