Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2019 Ram 1500 Towing Travel Trailer

Question

Question:

I have a 2019 Ram 1500. I tow travel trailer at about 500lbs under the truck max load. Which Timbren suspension enhancement kit would you recommend? Would go with a Timbren to a Sumo Superspring?

For non-heavy duty towing applications or recreational towing I really prefer the Sumo Springs Custom Solo Helper Springs # SSR-307-47 because they're progressively load bearing and won't affect the unloaded ride quality of your truck as much as a Timbren spring might. I typically only think the Timbrens are the best solution for work trucks that tow heavy trailers on a daily basis. The # SSR-307-47 will give you 1500-lbs of support, so it's going to work great for the tongue weight of a heavy travel trailer.

I've linked a few short review videos of these springs for you to check out.

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…
