Expert Reply:

Yes, using the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4185 will help to improve towing your 30' Coleman Lantern LT travel trailer. The air springs will provide additional support to your rear coil springs to reduce the amount of sag you encounter.

A weight distribution hitch like the Equal-i-zer # EQ37100ET is going to be a much better option. This will also help to reduce rear end sag by transferring the weight more evenly across your Ram rather than all the weight being on the rear suspension. This particular hitch is rated for trailers up to 10,000lbs with a tongue weight of 600-1,000lbs. You will want to verify your exact models tongue weight to verify if this is the best hitch for you. Do understand the tongue weights manufacturers list are before they fill the propane tanks with 40-60lbs of propane and install a 50lb battery. So if you have a heavier camper you will want to move up to the 12,000LB Hitch # EQ37120ET which is rated for 800-1,200lbs of tongue weight.
