Ride leveling airbags keep it level, it controls the load well, and stops it fine. The only complaint I have with it is that axle ratio. It struggles with the hills around Cumberland, but, otherwise, it works.

Thanks. Brad.

10 ply tires, drilled and slotted rotors/hd ceramic brake pads made for mountainous terrain and or towing, Bilstein struts and shocks and I added hd control arm bushings, ball joints and tie rod ends. Boat trailer has four all stainless disk brakes. 345hp Hemi with 3.92gr posi. I upped my 1/2 tons capabilities, from the factory it pretty much sucked. Still screams 1/2 ton though. lol More than enough truck for what I'm towing.

This is way off topic here, but the title caught my eye...Where is the original OHIO FOUNTAIN?????I believe it was an all Red 42 with white interior, race boat turned pleasure boat. My favorite old school Fountain.
