For your 2018 Ram 1500 the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR1500DS will work perfectly.

These hollow rubber springs feature a 6,000 pound capacity that will do a great job of providing additional support to the rear suspension and leveling everything out when you're under load. I really do like the Timbren systems because they offer superior support but you don't have to worry about adjusting anything before each trip like you would with air springs. After the initial installation this is a maintenance-free setup.

I have attached a short video demonstration and the written installation instructions that you can check out as well.
