I'm planning on buying a newer Ram 2500/Hemi with a deck for atv/sled trips specifically. Anyone with first hand knowledge of the new rear coils and how they handle a deck, I assume air bags are required. I would only use a dozen times a year and don't do any heavy towing but do want to run a sled deck.

I have a 2014 Ram 2500 6.4 Hemi Long horn with an X deck. I run just 2 sleds and you don't need airbags at all. The Actual payload cap. is around 3400lbs. I have airbags in there for my toy hauler in the summer so i put 15 PSI in them just for extra stability, but its not required.

I have a 14 2500 Mega with the CTD. With the deck on, it rides pretty well. I did throw a set of Air Lift bags and a compressor in there as I was tired of getting flashed with oncoming headlights while I had two machines on the deck. With the bags, truck rides nicer and is more stable in corners with two machines on the deck. Based on my experience I wouldn't say they are crucial, but once you have them, you sure appreciate how much better the truck works with them in.
FYI - at 5psi pressure in the bags, truck rides a slight amount rougher than without them, but not 3500 truck stiff either. Install of the bags was pretty quick...could be completed in 3 hours. Compressor is a different story. Compressor took me nearly a day to install, majority of that trying to plan where to mount and route lines to protect everything as well as I could.Ened up mounting inside of the frame rail on the drivers side under the back of the cab.

Wouldn't you adjust head lights then??
Should never get flashed with stock lights aimed correctly if stock height of truck.
You drive around with fogs on? I get flashed if my fogs are on, but have never been otherwise.
