2013 Ram 1500 Towing Capacity and Suspension Enhancement

Published 03/09/2018

Question:

I have 2013 RAM 1500 HEMI 4X4 6foot4inch CREW CAB - Max payload 1,393.00 and Max towing of 6500lbs. Whats the longest size of cargo trailer that yall have pulled with this setup? I leveled out the front of the truck at couple years back with a 2inch leveling kit dont like the raised bed stance so Im hoping that pulling a 24foot cargo trailer wont create horrible sag in the bed of the truck.

The length of a trailer isn't the issue as long as it remains under your max towing capacity weight. You shouldn't have any issues with a 24 foot trailer as long as it is under the weight capacity. To reduce any sag from the trailer, I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-307-47 which is a custom fit for your truck, easy to install, and maintenance free. These will help your factory suspension with support and will also help with stability by helping level the load.

I've attached a link to help you with the towing capacity as it does depend on your transmission and axle ratio as well.
