Truck and RV are rock solid in any weather conditions. I run full RAWR of 9,750# and the truck sets level with or without the load. Rear air give a lower entry/exit than without. It also gives a great loaded and unloaded ride.
OP mentioned "significantly tighter steering" in a 4500/5500. I really don't understand that statement. Mine has very tight & solid steering.
Pics are with Alt Ride engaged.
DRV weighs 24k and combined weight in pic over 35k.

I have read that the 4500 has a shorter steering radius than the 3500. I have not found any document stating that.
My 2020 Ram 3500 was rated for a payload of 5474 originally. I need to re-weight my truck with a full tank now that I have added the 55 gallon fuel tank to see what payload I have remaining.
Pulling equipment trailers for "friends" that were over 20k and the truck does not care, except for fuel usage. They do kinda laugh at me owning that truck because I currently own a 12K toyhauler and an 8k cargo trailer. My next RV probably will be well over 12K, and that's why I bought this truck.
