Towing issue with 2014 Ram 2500 and 303RLS

To get level as possible. Hitch was on its lowest setting. Raising the pin box lowers the front of the camper.

I would bet the suspension on your truck is different than mine as I have the 6.7l diesel.

[3daawgg]

I have the 5 link coil suspension.

My bed rail height is 59" do you know what yours is? Unloaded?

[3daawgg]

I'll check when I get back home later today.

Have you considered flipping the springs on the trailer, that will bring the trailer height up?

[krisbc1]

You would also find that a full size p/u with 8 ft box would handle things better, improve, ride height along with improving the overall ride and handling of the unit.

That only works if the spring pack is mounted under the axle to begin with.

The Reflection is already mounted on top of the axle tube.

I assume you are a dealer, right? If so, when you sell one do you advise the customer that it could be a problem and it's up to them to make the decision to tow it that way or not?

Yep, I work for a dealer.

We do let folks know what is good and what is not. I would say at least 90% of the newer trucks (5 years old and newer) are tall, and tow nose high.

There aren't really any ways to get around it, except for upgrading wheels and tires to accommodate, or installing a lift on the trailer.

I have seen people with my generation Dodges take the 2" block out from under the spring pack in the rear suspension to get a lower tow height.

The newer 2 wheel trucks are about as tall as the older model 4X4's....

Mine is 59" at the rear of the bed near the tailgate.
