The rake on a truck is worth

Sorry, the proper way to level a truck is to put it to work:p
Lol

What if the truck is just a big toy and doesn't do any work? Only thing that's been in the bed of my truck has been a bag of garbage

I have only had a bag of garbage in mine, too. :unsure:

Had to tear down our camp.:cry:

2nd load to the dump

Will be so glad to finish and then hitch our travel trailer to the RAM and go relax at a campsite.:love:

It was properly leveled with the load of drywall and ceiling tiles. Our travel trailer barely makes the truck squat...but the load of wood and supplies for camping level it some.

I guess if you don't use your truck, you can level the front...:oops:

;)

That a 2500 I see? Now that is a work truck. A 1500 is a glorified giant car, the front suspension is almost identical to my old Audi A4, just bigger. It won't be long before the 1500 is all wheel drive and riding on a fully independent suspension

Yeah big difference between a 2500 and 1500 for payload. I put a freaking 42" riding mower in the back of mine and it squatted. So something like 400 pounds in the bed, and it noticeably dropped. Leveled or not, these trucks need help if you're going to do any serious hauling.

Actually even 2500's these days aren't that great when it comes to payload, especially if you drop the diesel in it. Still only somewhere in the low to mid 2000's.

3500 is where it's at if you want true payload. You just lose you're fillings gettin groceries, other than that...
