    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2500 stright axle vs independant axle

    I have the 2009 Dodge 1500 Quad Cab short bed with Hemi 5.7 gas engine. The 5.7 is best for fuel economy over the 4.7 engine and yes--better than the 6 cyl engine. I have gotten 18 to 21 miles per gallon with my 5.7 when not hauling my boat (3,000 pound 21 foot River Hawk). I would go with the...

    Thanks for the info Fisherman. I was under the belief that Firestone only makes the "Coil Rite" bags for the 2009 Ram 1500 (Coil springs not leaf spring suspension). The "Ride Rite" bags are only for leaf suspensions. Is that right or not? As most are aware I know very little but enjoy life...

    I've seen them in the plate frame and that seemed okay. I just put them in my wheel well though. There were some holes already available in the body seem that worked perfect, they are up out of the way and easy to get to. I check my tires and airbags at the same time so its one stop on each...
