i was wanting to know how well ur trucks handled with the heavy cummins and 4x4 on ur trucks please include years as the suspensions change in 06 AS I would like to get me one i have a 2004 2wd 1500 and compared to my dads 2004 4x4 1500 the handling was night and day

 

it handles like a truck, yes its a lot heavier, my 3/4 ton feels like a tank, but goes like a sports car with my cummins! driving in town, feels like a peterbuilt, but pull it on the highway and mash it, and its a rocket-sled! its got its ups and downs, but i wouldnt trade my truck for the world!

sorry, i have a 06, 3/4 ton, heavy duty, quad cab, 4x4, cummins. no suspension mods (yet)

 

i just what i meant to say was that with my truck i can take trucks fairly fast but with my dads torsion bars it plows horribly how would u rate ur truck

 

if your looking for a heavy duty truck with 4wd to do some 4 wheelin buy a power wagon. not as heavy on the front end as the diesel would be.

 

What suspension change in 06?? My 07 has the exact same suspension as my 03, both 4x4 Cummins...

For a big heavy truck, they handle real good. My 07 handles a little better than the 03, mainly because it has the overload springs and a little stiffer coil, since its a 3500 and the 03 is a 2500. Its no Viper for sure, but I can carve canyons pretty dang good for all that weight up front. The weight and the momentum provided by the ol Cummins

 

add 5100 series bilstiens & it'll handle pretty damn good for a 7000 lb truck. just dont abuse them (shocks) as they wont last long with the weight of the cummins.

 

thanks all for the answers and i want a big ol cummins not a gas
