The dealer knew before we purchased the DRV what we would be pulling it with and never mentioned the need for risers. Then, the dealer sold us a Curt 24 hitch. Thinking this dealer knew rvs and be reliable/knowledgable, off we went on our bouncing and chucking 1000 mile trip home. So now we are trying to put together a usable unit that won't throw us out of the truck when driving.
1. Making a 2000 mile trip to MORryde factory for riser installation to get the rv level and proper clearance (afraid we will get another snow job anyplace else)
2. Replace Curt hitch with a B&W puck system hitch or Trailersaver hitch by Hensley
3. Replace MORryde pin box with TrailAir air bag pin box
Also, we have not been able to find a RAM or rv dealer that can tell us how to use the truck's air ride suspension and forget the manual. We were wondering what mode to use when traveling, when hooking up and when unhooking. Other suggestions for the rear air suspension that we should know.
Thank you for your time.

The system is simple. With at least 500# in bed of truck push the alt ride button. Now don't ever turn it off, reason is the truck rides more level with easier entry/exit and with less air in bags it will ride better solo.
For when you are unhitching go into settings scroll to suspension and hit tire jack mode. Go about unhooking as the suspension will not try to compensate with it in tire jack mode. No need to clear as it will do once the truck is moved.
This is a BIGGIE!!! Run 80psi front tires ALL the time and 65 rear towing and 35 rear solo. This will give you the best ride and tire life.
Also this is no BS have the trucks alignment adjusted to set the toe to 1/32" toe in as the factory is set at 1/4" and WILL cause outside tire stepping. Rotation, NEVER touch the rears and rotate the fronts side to side with the ROTATION staying the same.
I have LOTS of experience with all the above.
