    2024 RAM 5500 Camper Hauler Build

    Well the renovation of the camper is almost completed... well good enough for a trial night out. Here is a few shots of the truck and camper from this past weekend. Still working on getting side boxes from stable camper for under the wings. Anyone know where I can get some graphics made up for...

    2024 RAM 5500 Camper Hauler Build

    Ok I know it's been a bit but there has been progress. We got the truck back from Kelderman Manufacturing a few weeks ago after having them install the fron air bags and rear 4 link. Wow what a difference in the ride. It feels like your riddingin a half ton pickup now. We also love the dump...

    Thanks for the feedback. Not sure I can use the factory sensors on the DBL 2 piece wheels but I am planning on investigating that once we need to replace our tires. For now we went with a cheap pressure and temp sensor that screws on the valve stem. It's a chaina special but gives us a reference...

    2024 RAM 5500 Camper Hauler Build

    Well we just got the truck back from Kelderman Manufacturing last week. What a difference. They were amazing to work with and couldn't recommend them enough. We ended up going with the 4link in the rear and 2 stage front suspension. Next on the to do list is finish fixing up a bigfoot camper we...

    2024 RAM 5500 Camper Hauler Build

    Well we have the new wheel adapters on and installed. Track width is exactly the same front to back (90" wide outside to outside) but I now have a slight rub on the sway bar at full lock. Plan is to add approximately 1/8" shim to the steering stop. It will reduce the turn radius slightly but...

    2024 RAM 5500 Camper Hauler Build

    I have the DBL 2 pice aluminum wheels and yes running the rear dished out would be an option but when you rotate tires the face would be scuffed up from riding on the hub flange. Also I like the look of having the wheels the same direction. Honestly I ordered wheels and tires from DBL before I...

    2024 RAM 5500 Camper Hauler Build

    Well it's a slow process but we made some good progress over the last few weeks. Fist we got the flatbed modification done to fit the Continentals. We also received a set of standard offset rear hubs from Stazworks so we can run the tires the same direction.The installation was straightforward...

    2024 RAM 5500 Camper Hauler Build

    Well after what seams like an eternity my wheels and tires have showed up. In the meantime I pulled the trigger on the AEV front bumper. Last weekend the wife and I started the transformation of our 5500. Still need to button up the liners and some wiring but we are 80% done with the front. The...

    You have a sharp looking rig....AEV told me the same thing. If you go look at what DBL design has done he claims you can fit the Continental mpt 81's with Highmark Fenders with no lift. He claims you need to trim about 3/4" more then the AEV directions. That is my plan hopefully it works. I will...

    2024 RAM 5500 Camper Hauler Build

    Hey I appreciate the feedback on the 2 stage vs 4 link. I have been thinking about going that route as well. That would allow me to pull the time line to the left. Did you get the front bags as well or just the rear? In you opinion how much did it improve the ride?

    2024 RAM 5500 Camper Hauler Build

    Hey all, I am new here but have been following several of the other builds here for awhile now. The wife and I have finally pulled the trigger and ordered a 2024 RAM 5500 Crew cab 84"CA. I will be picking it up this Friday. The ultimate plan is a super single conversation air suspension, and a...
