Timbrens or SumoSprings Kit for 2020 Ram 1500

Question

Question:

I want to install a jounce style suspension enhancement kit for my 2020 Ram 1500. I am torn between the Timbrens and the SumoSprings. What should I get? I drive the truck everyday but take a few trips with my camper a year that I need the support for.

For your 2020 Ram 1500 and how you plan to use your truck the best suspension enhancement is the SumoSprings Solo part # SSR-307-40. This kit is the better balance between ride quality and support than the Timbren you mentioned as well. Timbrens are best for people who mainly use their vehicle for towing or otherwise loaded down and need the support most of the time. Unloaded they are pretty harsh. Whereas the SumoSprings give great support still but they aren't nearly as harsh unloaded.

Hey Kyle, If your tongue weight is 1,000 lbs and you're using 1,200 lb bars then going to 1,500 lb brs isn't going to make a difference. Sometimes even with weight distribution there can be a bit a of sag and sway still. I think what would…
