Hey Steve! The best system for your 2020 Ram 1500 is the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-307-47. The Timbren SES works when you're towing but when you aren't you get a rough ride. The SumoSprings give you the support you need while towing your trailer without sacrificing unloaded ride quality making them the best maintenance-free solution. These come with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee along with a limited lifetime warranty. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to reach out in the comments below.
