That doesn't sound comfortable! I recommend checking the air pressure in the tires first. You may be able to lower it some and still stay within the manufacturer's recommendations. This will take that bouncy basketball feeling out of your rear end.

The SuperCoils Custom Suspension Coils item # SSC-51 you were looking at fit a 2017 Ram 1500. These are designed for towing and addressing a sagging rear end and are going to stiffen up your rear suspension. If you are wanting to soften up your rear suspension you would need to add a set of Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers item # AL88365.

Answer 5

This is a good question, but the overall weight capacity of a vehicle does not increase necessarily when going with stiffer springs like with the part #SSC-51 that you mentioned. You do get additional suspension support which means the suspension…

Since you have wooden floors in your trailer the hardware I would recommend for installing e-track like the part #EM19147 would be the Erickson Hardware kit part #SL49FR which is basically wood screws.

That is going to come down the thickness/type of metal underneath the 3/4" plywood floor on your trailer. If the metal is the frame or crossmember and is made of steel then the Snap-Loc E-Track Self-Drilling Metal Screws - Qty 20 #SL99FR would…
