Re: Curt Q24 hitch and our 38RSSB3 - Rough Ride

We were expecting a better ride. Help...

We have a 2011 Ram 3500 with the TrailAire air ride pin box. I will bet you are over inflating your rear tires. I have 4,400# of pin weight and I run 55psi and have plenty of air for the load. Look up your tire size and inflation chart associated with yours. Leigh your rear axle and add 5psi to what the chart says. It will help the ride and make the tires last much longer.

I did add PacBrake air bags and run them at about 25psi. That seemed to help with the concrete expansion joints.
