The TorkLift StableLoad Rear Suspension Upgrade # TLA7311 that you referenced will require you to drill the leaf springs for installation. We do offer a few other solutions for your 2001 Dodge Ram that will allow you to install them without drilling into the leaf springs.

You could use the SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit # SSA25 if your have a 2500 or 3500. If, however, you have a 1500 then you can use part # SSA5MTKT instead. These stabilizers will supplement your OEM springs and help stabilize your current suspension system for a better ride.
