2016 ram 3500 factory air bags

[zzollwalk]

Does anyone know if there is a aftermarket upgrade to the current factory air bag suspension on the '16 3500..I wonder if I can purchase heavier duty bags to replace the current ones..I want to be able to carry the rated axle weight on the 5th wheel, from time to time I get the overload lite on the dash..Or maybe someone knows of a fix for this issue..HELP!!

I can't help you with an answer, but what kind of load are you hauling if I might ask? I am at 3,300 lbs of pin weight and have never had an overload warning.

I tow at or slightly over RAWR with no warnings. What is your rear axle weight.

Hauling a 4 car trailer..two up and two down..my cat scale would be aroiund 10k on the drive..I get the lite on the dash...

So, let's see. The RAWR on my truck is 9750. At 10000, you get an overload light. At 9880, Ron doesn't. You're overloaded by 250 lbs (~2.5%). The system is telling you that you are overloaded. Sounds pretty darned accurate to me. I'm impressed.

I believe Ron is running in "alt ride height" Maybe playing with that would make a difference???? SNOKING

I always run Alt. I would be curious if that would make a difference. It may since the bags would be shorter in height in Alt.
