Question:

I need something to enhance the factory suspension on my new 2022 Jeep Gladiator. The trailer I am towing is getting close to the top capacity of this truck, so the back end is squatting down fairly bad. I saw that you have better jounces and air bag things. Which is better?

Choosing the correct rear suspension enhancement for your 2022 Jeep Gladiator will depend on how much sag you are actually getting and if you want to have something that is adjustable or not. The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS62XR will be the more heavy duty option as it can offer up to 1,800 pounds of support (at 50% compression), but once it's on, it's on. There is no way to adjust it to a lower setting when you are not towing, so it will affect the ride. This isn't going to be super bad as it is fairly soft when not under load, but it is something to be aware of.

The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL60830, on the other hand, can be adjusted from 5 psi, which will keep your stock ride feel when not towing, and then be inflated to 35 psi giving you up to 1,000 pounds of capacity. Though this will be the lower capacity option, I do prefer to have the ability to adjust the load leveling capacity and this is the way I would go.
