No way, bro, air suspension is the cheapest thing to replace in the world (rotflmao)
It's called an OME lift
I'm looking at this truck...

Ryan,
One look on craigslist say's nice trucks for the Ram, but the word diesel and low k are hard to find. A good one clean and low k's will be in the $30k+ range, anything else is going to be a higher mileage work truck that I would not buy.
Here is a nice lifted one with a stick shift, with KC lights/ bars!

That's what I'm lookin' at but the 2500HD, and for the same reasons... either Ram or Silverado. I guess I really need to research the trans choices because it looks like the deal breaker/maker.
Well how often are you going to be "pulling the world"? Reason i ask is bc if just every so often then the Dodge will be fine!

All summer .. then probably never, it (trailer) will be sitting on my property while I build my house. BUT .. it will be used for hauling building materials and logs out of and into the bush... etc. If the Allison is better I think it's a no brainer. Unless I am totally in the dark the longevity of the Cummins and Duramax are not really any different??? If I can get a stronger trans it would seem like a no brainer. I'll just have to get used to the (yawn) looks of the Chev.
I won't have to get used to the interior though .. buttery!

a '92-97 F350 SRW 4x4 with a 12v Cummins is the answer

Dodges need U-joints and balljoints replaced every 20-30k miles.
Don't know anything about the '07+ GM trucks.
Fords don't have Cummins engines.
You could have a better truck by buying a '92-97 gas SRW F350 and put a 12v Cummins in it, and spend 1/8th of the money.

If I can wait for the 2011's it will be the Silverado 2500HD with Allison. New specs 397hp 765 ft/lbs, new box frame (up to 20,000lbs towing) and 11% fuel economy increase.

Will it have a solid front axle?
I would think that it would!
