Ram 2500 Bed Sag With 1 Ton of Weight - Pellet Stove Fuel 

UPDATE on that weird 1/2”: the two things people said were garage floor not level and fuel tank. First I backed truck in, instead of head first and the same rear passenger is 1/2” high. So not the floor. Second I filled up the tank and there was no change. 3/8-1/2 tank vs full. I thought about that a bit and in reality, 32 gallons at 5lbs a gallon isn’t much weight. So I’m lost. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️.

That's why from the factory they sit nose down until you put leveling Springs in it.. nose down, put a ton of weight in the back and then it sits level.. like you ,I'm going to use leveling Springs waiting for them to come in😊

You need a TV show.... You are such a unique and entertaining individual....LoL!

That’s why they build a rake into the truck, so when there is a load in it the truck I’d level. It’s made to have weight in the back

One word TIMBRENS

Nick, as weird as this sounds, I had this exact problem with a 15 I had. Half inch difference in the rear. Turns out one of the cater bolts was turned all the way one direction. With these radius arm trucks, when adjusting caster it torques down the rear somehow. Tharen has a great article on their site explaining it much better than I can. Mine became unleveled in the rear after leveling kit and alignment. If I can find the article I will send it to you.

Bags haul anything! Air up and go

I'm thinking real hard about a single rear wheel 1 ton with the hemi. Still keep the leaf springs going one ton i think. I dunno i have a 2019 f250, but i also have a weakness for buying new trucks

Timbrens ses system works great. Put them on my 22 2500 tradesman.

That’s not bad!

I do that routine 4 times per heating season getting one ton at a time from TSC layaway plan where I have to pickup all ordered pallets by Oct 1st or was it 30th? forgot already....yes it goes fast. But I load the pellets into the truck one bag at a time and then unload....because of risk to tailgate from fork truck.....I really should take the tailgate off and then go pickup the pellets.... Have not done that yet with my new Ram 2500 (now with 1,379 miles on it) . I practiced taking the tailgate off which includes a procedure to undo camera connection and a wire harness for solenoid tailgate lock and then installing a blanking plate on vehicle side and clipping into same place mounting area. I hope your tailgate was not damage too bad that requires new paint. after body work. or maybe we are taking about the plastic tailgate cap that stuff grabs when sliding to rear with gate down. Not a good design.

Hopefully you've put airbags on it by now

Nick,gotta try the lasfit reverse,cargo lights and interior bulbs ..extremely bright..can do the red lights as well...did them all on my silverado..but just did my 22 ram dually with the whites in rear...what a difference

It's a 3/4 ton. So that means you can put 3/4 of a ton in the bed. One ton is for one ton. Back in the day before all these ratings were designed and printed that's what that means. It's simple if you think about it that way.

Anyone who can divide 1-3/8 in half and add it to 39-3/4 without a calc deserves subscription and a like 👍

The Specs on a 2021 Bighorn crew cab short bed is as follows: Gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) (lbs.) 10,000 Payload (lbs.) 3,230 Towing capacity (lbs.) 14,260 Gross combined weight rating (GCWR) (lbs.) 21,500 5th-wheel towing capacity (lbs.) 14,080 Not very impressive numbers IMO. I also own a 2021 2500 Laramie and my numbers are even less. Not sure how much weight you plan to put on it?

Fuel tank maybe the reason lower on the driver's side? Tuff truck springs...used on my 1/2 ton. much stronger

If the surface your truck is parked on is not level you will see a difference from side to side

Payload on a 1500-2500 is pretty close to the same. Yes the tank makes a difference in the height, but from what I was told when I brought a Ram back to the dealer to ask a similar question, they said the driver side is 1/4” higher to level the truck when having a driver and full tank.

Airbags would fix that

If I’m correct the payload of your truck is GVWR- curb weight = payload. On my 2021 Powerboost doing the math i get about 2100 payload rating but if i look at the yellow sticker inside the door it says my payload is only like 1300lbs. Anyone have a answer for this?

Are you looking to upgrade your headlights to LED’s? I’m on the fence about replacing with OEM’s from the Laramie trim or with going with an after market supplier such as Morimoto.

Weight of the gas

I'm assuming tire pressure is the same. Not sure if that would make a difference or not?

Would the floor not being level be the cause? Not that I would worry about 1/2 inch

I wonder if the fuel tank makes a difference in the hight difference ???

Is this a Cummins?

Your floors uneven ;)
