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.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
