Question:

Towing a 2016 Whitehawk 33RLBS ~7,500 lbs, 750 lb tongue weight. Tow vehicle is a 2013 Ram 1500 Quad cab 5.7 Hemi. I have a lot of sagging or squatting on the truck. Would SumoSprings help with this issue? Thanks for your help!

Expert Reply:

Yes, SumoSprings would help to address the sagging and squatting you are experiencing in your 2013 Ram 1500. I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs item # SSR-307-47. These springs have a 1,500 lbs capacity that will easily handle the tongue weight of your Whitehawk Trailer.

These springs work by using progressive load control. The springs compress according to the weight of your cargo. Basically the more weight put on them the more they are engaged. When you are not towing your trailer or hauling a heavy load you won't notice they are there.

I have linked an installation video below.

You may also want to consider a weight distribution system. The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control item # EQ37120ET would be perfect for your 7,500 lbs trailer. It has a 800 lbs - 1,200 lbs tongue weight range and will also address the sagging and squatting issues you are experiencing.
