Question:
If everything else is equal, ie price and availability what is the better option to help the squat on a 2014 ram 1500 w/o air susp, Timbrens or sumo springs

Expert Reply:
The better option to help minimize the level of squat you are expecting on your 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 while towing is the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TDR1500DQ. The Timbrens are made of a much stiffer material in comparison to the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-307-47 which will in turn provide you with more support. However, while engaged the SumoSprings will provide a slightly softer ride in comparison to the Timbrens.
For the best of both worlds (Support/Ride Comfort) I recommend using a set of airbags like the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit part # F2595 as these will replace the coil springs on your vehicle with a set of airbags that are better equipped to handle the additional squat you are experiencing while towing/loaded. To operate the airbags from inside the vehicle I also recommend using an onboard compressor kit like the Firestone Air Command I part # F2158.
I have attached a review and installation of the Timbrens for you.
