Too much trailer for the truck??

We have a 2004 Dodge 3/4 Ton truck and plan to pull a Greystone 33CK. We are wondering if anyone has had to "beef" up there suspension to pull this trailer with a comparable truck?
Will our 3/4 Ton diesel pull this trailer without problems, or should we look at upgrading it to a 1 Ton? :confused:
Any feedback would be appreciated;)

The pin weight on your RV could be 2800 lbs when fully loaded.I think the unloaded pin
weight is around 2300 lbs.Take your trucks weight + passangers,fuel weight ,hitch weight etc + pin weight.
You should not exceed the max GVWR posted on the door frame of your Dodge.Its probably around 9000 lbs.
If your truck weighs 6500 lbs you can have a 2500 lb cargo weight.

I pull a Greystone 32RL with my '07 Ram 2500 Cumins. The only thing I did was add airbags to the rear suspension as the extra pin-weight did make the back-end sag more than I wanted. Even at that I only put 25 pounds in them and that did the trick.

We pulled a Big Country 3250 with a 05 Dodge 2500 with no problems or mods. Just use common sense as ya go.
