Question:

I have a 19 ram 1500 4x4 and was going to order the timbrens as I am putting in a power washing aluminum skid with hose reels, machines and tanks in the bed if truck. The skid with no equipment attached ion it weighs about 400 lbs. will these be acceptable to Leinster rear sag while driving. I do not plan on driving with much water maybe about 100 GALLO a of bleach max on occasion. Thanks

For your 2019 Ram 1500 4x4 I recommend installing the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-307-47. These springs I feel work better on the lighter trucks like your Ram as they are not as hard as the Timbren # TDR1500DS. The Timbren springs are rated for 6,000lbs while the SumoSprings are rated for 1,500lbs. Thus you will not sacrifice ride quality when you are driving with the lighter 400lbs of equipment. I have included a video we did showing how the SumoSprings performed with an additional load to reduce sag.
