Please no hackles, I am not being critical here, just asking a question. I always heard "airbags" don't increase weight capacity. It's all suppose to be based on axle rating. So I assume, the axle rating is high on the Ram's, the airbags just help keep truck level? Please explain. Oh for the Record, I own three new 2014 Chrysler products, so I am part of Dodge family! SRT8 Jeep, SRT8 Charger and Jeep Overland! Also a 600 HP 2010 SRT8 Charger! I just like the look of the Ford Trucks! Got to love that Ford Grill !!! Lol. I would have bought the "Long Hauler" had it been built by factory, and not ordered through vender!

Yes and no. Air bags do not increase what an axle is rated for, but they do supplement what springs can handle since they mount between the axle and the frame and work in addition to the springs. However, that is NOT the purpose of air bags. They are used to help level the tow vehicle once the trailer weight (5th wheel or standard tow) have been added.
