Great question. Suspension Enhancement Sytems (SES) are intended to assist suspension in good working condition, but will not correct any bowing in your axle or increase the towing capacity of your vehicle. Assuming your vehicle suspension is in good shape and your vehicle and hitch are rated to carry the 25,000 pounds, you would definitely benefit by adding an SES. Both the Timbren SES and the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs are similar in that they both use convoluted springs to provide additional support. The more weight compressing the springs, the stronger the springs become.
The most popular SES for your 2015 Dodge Ram 3500 Pickup (and my personal favorite) is the Timbren Rear SES, part # T94VR. I believe their popularity is due to the performance of the Timbren rubber double-convoluted springs and the ease of their installation compared to other brands.
The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs, part # F2615, also get great reviews and performed well on our test course, which you can view in the video I have attached.. Customers appreciate that the Ride-Ride Spring have adjustable psi levels to accommodate various size loads.
I have attached some videos and articles that should be helpful in making your final decision.
