Awesome! I knew they would figure it out.

Now I need to call Dave Smith.

Thanks for the laugh!

 

[Stab]

Funny! But I'm still ****** that I have to wait for it! I guess another couple months won't really matter now.

Anyone know for a fact when the illusive rear air suspension for the Dually will be available?

Most likely not until they re-engineer it moving the air bags out closer to the axle ends. Snoking

Was looking at a new 3500 srw noticed it didnt have helper springs but the drw does. Was wondering whats up with this.

 

[Hoefler]

The air ride is available to order on the Laramie, I will be ordering mine Sat.

While mostly irrelevant, I've noticed that you can build a 2014 3500 with rear air on Ram's site as well. A few months ago, I don't recall being able to do that.

 

[SnoKing]

When is the web site going to be able to build a 2015? SNOKING

Upper overlaods haven't been on the 3500SRW since 2009.

The 03-09's 3500 SRW trucks used the 2500 main leaf pack with the DRW upper overload pack. The overloads, in stock form, are pretty useless as they didn't make static contact until you where at the tire limits.

The '10+ 3500 SRW trucks use the same main pack as the DRW, but without upper overloads.

That explains the ride :-laf.

The spring rate is only 7% stiffer, but the ride feels a little more than that based on the difference in springs.

dealer told me air suspension on hold till so far end of sept

Well now the brains at Ram headquarters have removed the air ride from the 2015 line up for the 3500's. Still available on the 2500's though.:{

I have been saying all along that the air bags were to far inboard for a HD pickup. Tommy Tippee! I will bet when you see it again they will be out where the 2500's air bags are and where traditional leaf springs are located. SNOKING
