The towing capacity for a 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 can range from 3,600 lbs to 8,100 lbs depending on how it is equipped. Since there are several different options your truck could have you will want to check the owners manual of your truck to determine what the towing capacity of your specific vehicle is.

Again you will want to check the owners manual, I was able to determine that the payload capacity of your truck will range between 1,474 to 2,096 lbs depending on options. If you wanted suspension enhancement to help support your rear suspension while carrying a heavy load I would recommend the Air Lift Kit part # AL57215. You should note that suspension enhancement won't give you additional capacity, it will only allow you to carry your current capacity as safely as possible.
