Pete, it,s a 2012 1500 4x4 . and i think i am going to go with the airbags as so many of you guys have suggested, just worried about how long they will last. Barnegatev20 suggested the sensatrack load leveling shock but it's not made for my truck yet. and Phat, the main problem is that Ddodge did away with the leaf springs on this model,they say it eliminates high speed wheel hop , gee thanks alot for that one Dodge.

unfortunatly all the auto makers are trying to make their half ton trucks ride like cars. I think it's bullsh**! If you have a truck it should be a truck. My truck has leaf srpings in the back but coils up front. It still has live axles front and rear. My truck actually rides smoother with a few hundred pounds in the back. And it doesn't squat. Only if there is a lot of weight back there,especially since I installed a leveling kit to the front. To clear 35" tires.

I bought a set of shocks that have a coil spring around it for my 98 F 150 to keep it from squatting when I hook the big trailer with the tractor to it. It raised the amount of weight I could carry by a minimum of 1,500lbs.
I love them. P/sI put the same type on the front.
