This means we are getting closer to seeing the new house 😎
Yes sirrrr! The trailer is actually now parked INSIDE the new shop as a hint 👀
Can't wait to see new place also
we tow a 6000lb travel trailer several thousand miles a year with our 1500, hemi, 8 speed, crewcab 4wd. no air bags, just the regular coils in the back. basically the same setup as you show except we use 1 sway controller
there is no left and right to the sway controllers, they are identical.
tows very well
I used to crank those sway bars down hard. My trailer liked to sway like a mofo. I ditched that style of WDH and went with a Andersen. Worlds better, extremely easy to hook and unhook, about 50% lighter. Good luck with your trip! Be safe!
My step dad has his air bags connected together with one air line and he found that the air would compress from one bag to the other as he went around corners.
yup... I was 'getting clever' and combined both lines into one AND installed the valve behind the gas cap door for weather protection (we're in Tahoe) and the truck developed a snap oversteer when pushing hard in corners. It would appear the air is transferring from the outside compressed bag to the inside bag and creates unwanted body roll. Dough! don't be that guy.
Great video. 2 things I would suggest. FIrst off upgrade your hitch again to a friction style sway hitch (Reese straight-line, equalizer E4, etc.) . It will obviously perform the same way as your current setup, but its just less junk to have to deal with. The weight distr. bars do both tasks at the same time instead of having to add those extra friction sway bars. There is nothing wrong with them really, but they can be trouble when trying to turn sharp.
Second suggestion, the hellwig upgraded rear sway bar seems, at least for me, to help with some of the feels going down the road, especially when towing somewhat heavy. I'm towing about 8700 lbs same truck as your except I am leveled in the front and have teh 3.92's.
Keep up the good work and hope the move goes smoothly.
2014 ram limited, mine has the factory air bags I love it it tows like a dream.
It is really nice you can drop it to the ground line up the trailer then raise the whole truck up and pick up the trailer
I would not use a jack on the bars. If that were to slip and swing out it’s going to hurt! Just put a big block under the tounge jack, raise your tounge jack while coupled until bars are able to be installed by hand, and lower the jack.
Good set up. I had the same set up on my camper. The 5.9 Cummins had no problem pulling and with the sway pars kept me in my lane in high winds.
For my air bags I used a DEWALT 20V MAX* Cordless Tire Inflator, Tool Only (DCC020IB) works great 👍
I use a rigid one since I am in the rigid line but for $20 it's awesome cordless pump plus can set to psi you want and let it rip. Keep it in the back seat and has a long cig plug in case battery is dead
@@mr.karlson633 I used dewalt pretty for the some reason as you only battery's I have so dewalt it is lol
Nice Rig🤳《☆》👍✔Bring some colder weather back with you🖖🤓🏈
Good luck fam
Thanks Ray! Already down here in Florida so far so good!
You need more tilt on the hitch head, the bars should be level with the a frame of the trailer and a minimum of 5 links hanging, hook on the 6 link to allow enough slack for turning
Pretty crazy how those systems work. Hope you have safe travels back to FL. Can't wait to see the new place.
Another awesome job John!!! Have a great and safe trip back to Florida!!!! I’m guessing you found an awesome home can’t wait to see it!!! I’ll see you in the next video!!!!
Great set up for a Ram 1500 the only other thing I might add is a good spare for that trailer. Those crappy trailer tire are always exploding! ✌
Nice set up. You could make up a cig lighter pigtail that plugs into your trailer lights.
Through the back window may have gained you a foot 😁
Thanks John! I bet this makes a huge difference on how it tows!! 👍
Be careful out there friend & have a safe roadtrip.
Safe travels, man! Keep us posted on your progress!
😋👉🏼 can't wait for the new house reveal and that play button for the new office 🙌 legendary #BSTEDMTRSPRTS

Everybody talks towing, where do I go to find truck campers for the 1500?

Random question, any idea why my Ram 1500 starts to squat when I put like 300 lbs of weight she's start to squat right away? The rear shocks are fairly new around a year old but I never tow anything.
They are coil springs and spring pretty soft for a smooth ride but putting airbags will solve that
@@BoostedMotorsports ahh nice thanks for the reply ill try that out
Moving to Florida, in time for hurricane season?

Listen, just bring your dodge garage up here to major fault line Kentucky, I’ll hold on to them for ya. Smiley Face
