RE: Towing Limit
anybody wondering what his gears are? Hope its not 3.55 by the time he hits top gear he'll be at the next camp site.
even 3.73 would be pushing it, only hope its a 3.92 (do 4.10s come as factory option on a 1500?)
As far as the sagging goes don't have any gear in your bed, make a second trip. My dodge came factory with a IV hitch, think the tongue weight limit is a grand. Your leafs can handle a lot, I've had 60 40 pound bags of dirt in my bed ( only had to drive 6 or 7 miles) and it handled fine.

RE: Towing Limit
Quick hitch question....which class is this OEM receiver? It almost looks like it just bolts up to the integrated bumper hitch that comes on all the rams. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-08...mZ350023078836

RE: Towing Limit
4.10's come on a 1500 w/ hemi. he'll be fine he ain't going very far and i've exceeded the towing limit before you just gotta be careful. i've pulled a 18 foot trailer with 50hp tractor, mower, box blade and loaderwith another 12t trailer behind it with a load of scrap metal on it for 150 miles and mines still running fine w/ 150k on it. so unless u got a lemon u have nothing to worry about unless u hit a huge pot hole then you'll screw up ur front and or rear end.
