Hello All,

Same thing here. On our first few trips with our '14 3150RL and new Ram 3500DRW the ride was terrible. Lots of bouncing up and down in the truck rear and chucking was awful on some roads.

Now, on our trip to S Texas for the winter wife loaded it up as if we were never going home again. Scale weighs show she added about 400 lbs to the pin and about the same to the axles. Now I am down a bit more on the overloads and it really smoothed it out.

Congrats on the new rig.

Jim
