    2022 RAM 5500 Composite "Super Camper"

    The pic after the frame has been painted really shows the size of the frame rails. Are those 5x3"? Really curious to see how all those step downs they cut into the ends of the cross supports come into play.

    Recommendations on suspension modifications on a 2020 Ram 2500 Diesel w/popup camper (1300lbs)

    They really need more lift than the add-a-packs provide so i was getting some premature wear on the bags where they rubbed(this what Carli told me after I sent them photos of the wear and my suspension specs).

    Importing Advice
