Comparing SumoSprings and Air Bags for a 2021 Ram 2500
Question:
Ive used Air Lift on the past two Ram 4x4 2500s primarily to correct rear sag and bottoming out on rough roads when towing my fifth wheel camper.... I stay within load limits of the truck with the camper - Ive had good experience with the Air lift systems.... but ran across the Sumo when looking for an system to install on my 2021 Ram 2500 4x4.... will the Sumo address load sag and correct headlight point of aim? I generally run 10 lbs of air in the airbags which increases to 20 lbs under the 5th wheel load..... I like the idea of no air compressor, but want a system which corrects the sag under load...... will the sumo 312-54 do that?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Air bags (Air Lift) and upgraded jounce springs (SumoSprings) are both great options to reduce rear end sag and squat while towing or hauling. That said, if you started with air bags you would be let down with upgraded jounce springs because air bags are truly the best option since you can adjust the pressure for the perfect amount of support/comfort for any given load. I would also like to point out you will see a few inches of sag/squat before the jounce springs even engage whereas airbags can engage instantly. I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs part # AL88289.
