Question:
Have a 2022 Ram 2500 diesel which has a 2” leveling kit on the front. We tow a fifth wheel toy hauler at times which causes the rear end to sag. Air bags or Sumo Springs? I like the no maintenance portion of the sumo springs but will it reduce the sag? Thanks

Expert Reply:
The main benefit of the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2598 is you can easily adjust the air pressure in the springs using a Compressor System # AL74000 to not only level your 2022 Ram 2500 but also dial in the ride quality.
With the SumoSprings you have several options with different weight ratings.
1,500LB # SSR-312-47
2,800LB # SSR-312-54
3,000LB # SS64VR
5,000LB # SS27GR
The heavier capacity will cause your rear end to sag less but do understand the higher capacity will also cause you a rougher ride when unloaded and hitting bumps. So while being maintenance free they are not as forgiving as the air springs.

Hey, how did things turn out with your Ram 2500 when towing the fifth wheel? Did the air springs or the SumoSprings end up giving you the ride and support you wanted? Your update could make it easier for others choosing between those setups.
