Question

Question:

I haul a 44 ft gooseneck with a GVW of 25K. I sag with the trailer and when I load it it sags more. What do you recommend for a safe level ride.

For the amount of weight you are towing with your 2016 Ram 3500 I would recommend the heavy duty Timbren kit for your truck part # T94VR. This will provide up to 12k of additional suspension support which will help your truck that is pretty near it's towing capacity.

This won't give you additional capacity beyond what you truck is rated for, but it will help with the sag quite a bit.
