Recommended Suspension Enhancement Kit For 2021 Ram 2500 With 5th Wheel

Question

Question:

I have a 2021 Ram 2500 4X4 and I will be towing a fifth wheel trailer. I will be close to the maximum payload for my truck, 2200 lbs. with this setup. I am considering the Sumo Springs but am not sure which ones will best fit my application?

For your 2021 Ram 2500 4x4 I recommend going with the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-312-54. These jounce springs will do a great job of reducing rear sag and body roll, all while improving the overall handling and braking of your truck. They are rated for up to 2,800lbs which will be enough for your application; this kit is designed to work with 5th wheel hitches so that won't be an issue.

The springs will simply replace your factory bump stops and will assist your factory suspension. Remember that installing this kit will not increase your vehicle's capacity. I attached a demonstration video for you to check out.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Answer 10

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…
