Weigh safe hitch although expensive gives you real number to make sure you’re within the 10-15% tongue weight when knowing weight of trailer and cargo. ( I have same tractor but cab version, love it so far , going to use the HLA1000 Hydr blade today for sure)
Thanks for sharing, always good to see. Was running a single axle aluminum trailer, but I wasn't comfy with 2 ATVs on it, weight rating was more than ok, but bumpy roads were stressing me. So I bough and renovated an old double axle trailer, with hydraulic brakes, not as good as electric brake because they rely on tractor vehicle brakes for initial pressure, but it works well. Compared to my old setup, it is way more comfy and feel way more safe. It sure is way more heavy :P I tow with an old GMC Safari, rated up to 5500lbs (with brakes on trailer), and I had to switch my hitch to an adjustable one, as it was too low, and trailer was bending front. Once adjusted, it goes fairly comfy.
Air bags inside your coils. Under 300 bucks and really helps with stability. Weight distribution for that light of a load is overkill for sure. I've used the air bags on 2 different Rams now and they're great.
@ruyguy8888 I put the air lift bags in my 2009 Ram and they were still going when I sold it so I put a set in my 2019 Rebel when I got it and they've been great. I tow almost 9000lbs with my travel trailer and it really helps. Only thing I changed with this set is I got better tubing for the air lines to ensure no kinks with 0 pressure. New truck looks great. Watch out for highway naps. After that Diesel you'll feel like you're in a lazy boy chair now. Haha

Does your Trailer have Electronic Brakes? If it does then a How to setup the Braking would be a good Video..
Yup it does. and good video idea. I can put that together fairly quick.

I've been looking at Sumo Springs as well as an alternative. This is my first ram with coils in the rear. drives fantastic.
