SumoSprings Kit for 2017 Ram 1500 Towing 7k Trailer

Question

Question:

I have a camper I pull a few times a year and weighs around 7000lbs. Which sumo springs should I get? I also have weight distribution hitch. I want extra support while towing but don’t want to get beat up the other 98 of the time I’m running empty

Since you want smoother ride quality from your 2017 Ram 1500 when towing the best option for a SumoSprings kit would be the part # SSR-307-40 which has the 1,000 lb of additional capacity it can give you. This will give you the best blend of support and ride quality.
