Both the SumoSprings # SSR-312-47 and Timbren # TDF25004B for the rear axle of your 2022 Ram 2500 are jounce-style springs, but they do differ quite a bit as to the type of support they actually provide.

If the bed on your Ram is pretty consistently loaded then the Timbren Rear Suspension System # TDF25004B will be the better option, as these springs are made up of a more robust Aeon rubber and consequently feature a much higher weight capacity of 6,000 pounds. They will do a better job of reducing that sag and creating a smoother ride under load.

On the other hand, if you just occasionally have a loaded bed, sometimes tow, but more often ride relatively empty, the SumoSprings # SSR-312-47 will be the best route. These springs are a bit softer than the Timbrens, so they allow for a more comfortable ride when you aren't actually hauling anything in the truck. They feature a lower weight capacity of 1,500 pounds.

Both of these parts are compatible with 4-wheel drive models. I have attached videos that walk you through the installation process of both of these options.
