Yes, adding a rear anti-sway bar on your 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 will make a major difference in your vehicle's handling while hauling your truck bed camper. Truck bed campers are very top heavy and can cause side-to-side sway so an anti-sway bar will help keep you upright on the road. For a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 you would need the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1129-122.

Rene, you unfortunately are not going to be able to use both air bags and SumoSprings like #SS68RR at the same time. The air bags fit inside the coil springs on the bag so there would not be room to also have the SumoSprings. Even if you were able to…

No, it won't and it's because of the exhaust. The Hellwig Big Wig Rear Anti-Sway Bar item #HE24MR will only work on the diesel models of the 2024 Ram 3500. It is not compatible with your 6.4 Hemi model. The Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar item…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
