Who has a '15?

Tell me about it. How does it tow heavy with the coil springs? Any bugs or issues anyone has noticed?

Jacob Snowden has one and didnt have many complaints on it. Ive test drove one rides like a cadillac. I dont think towing heavy would be an issue if coils cant handle the load im sure someone will be coming out with a rear airbag conversion.

They have a rear bag option already available on them.

I have a 14, with the coil over long bed, the extra wheel base really helps to but yes rides like a cadillac. I have towed 7K all the way up to 15K so far with my pulling truck on the trailer and it tows really well and doesn't squat to bad. Nothing to noticeable.

Just my input.

Mine rides like a Caddy and tows very nicely with OEM rear suspension. 1200 miles on the clock now and no issues or regrets.

I manage a fleet of dodges. We just picked up 6 - 2014 - 2500s. They are getting great fuel mileage, ride great, and the coil rear seems to squat less than our 2500s with leaf springs. Power is great. Only complaint is the oil filter sucks to change.

We have one as My Fiancée decided she had enough of the bad ride her Lifted 07.5 We bought from SledPuller21 here has.Now do not get me wrong,the lifted 07.5 is a beautiful truck and has done all she wanted and more,but,once she drove a new truck with a lift it was all over.I can not believe how much superior the ride is with the lift the same height.Plenty of power to pull the big 37's down the road and so quiet you feel like you not in a diesel.We have towed nothing yet as the truck has only been here a week or so and we drive our rides to where ever we go.I know the stereo may not be up to your standards,but,even that is impressive for the factory system.So it will be so long to the old truck as it will be placed in the classifieds for her and she will enjoy the nice new 2500 Black Out she has instead........Andy

Here is a pic of her new ride,the day we picked it up,snow was not an extra charge.......

Great looking truck! I wasn't sure how I felt about the factory blacked out Rams, but after seeing this I'd drive one in a heart beat. Looks that much better with a lift and aftermarket wheels too. Congrates!

It goes in to have the tint made a bit darker and a shade across the top of the windshield Tuesday.Put the Weathertech Vent Visors on Yesterday for her.I was really suprised when we first went and looked at it that it was riding on 285/60/20's on a black powder coated wheel from Ma Mopar.She definitely is happy with the choice and I also was not sure what to make about the Black Out Package.When you look at it inside and out it is really a nice truck.

If you know anyone looking for a nice truck,drop me a note.That truck is really nice and its a shame she doesn't want to keep it around,but,garage space is limited and We do not want to pay for a storage area for the winter for it.Its one of those,we do not have to sell it,title is in Our hands so We will not give it away.However,if it doesn't sell for what we want it will just sit nestled all warm next to the other 07.5 6.7 I just bought.

Just ordered my 15 3500 mega cab yesterday. I got the Aisin and rear airbags. I talked to my buddy and he said his 15 rides like **** and wished he bought it with the airbags. Another friend said the same about his 3500. I'm getting conflicting reviews here.

Dealers haven't gotten a truck in yet with the bags. I'm looking to get a new one, but waiting on some real opinions on if it's worth it

There wasn't much change in the 3500 rear suspension as compared to earlier years. They use Hotchkiss leafs and softened them up a bit if ordered with airbags. It was the only reason my new truck is a 2500 is for the 5 link coil system. I might tow 5000 miles with it over the next 2 years I own it so Ill enjoy the rest of the miles in comfort. My 2015 2500 tows just as smooth as my 2010 3500 does without the shutter on rough surfaces and they are both crewcab short box trucks.

I know a guy who has 2 trucks. One with bags and one without. He said to definitely get them because the ride is night and day. My 2012 has a shake to it going down the highway at 70+mph. I've had it to the shop and they put a new carrier, new tires, still same vibration, but only when I go over 70. I thought I was the only one. You getting the same vibrations as I describe Chris?

what sort of compressor and tank supplies the air bag system? wonder if they used special engineered one off parts or readily available parts for the system?

kinda what I was thinking. Can the tank be tapped into so you could have aux air? If the truck sits for some time, how long does it take to pump the bags up?
