• Difference Between the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement and the SumoSprings Solo Helper Springs
• The better option to help minimize the level of squat you are expecting on your 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 while towing is the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TDR1500DQ. The Timbrens are made of a much stiffer material in comparison to the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-307-47 which will in turn provide you with more support. However, while engaged the SumoSprings will provide a slightly softer ride in comparison to the Timbrens. For the best of both worlds...

• TruXedo Lo Pro Soft Roll-Up Tonneau Cover VS TruXedo Pro X15 For A 2020 Ram 1500
• The TruXedo Pro X15 Soft Tonneau Cover # TX1484901 is more of a low profile tonneau cover. It only sits up less than 1 inch from your truck rails unlike the Truxedo Lo Pro # TX584901 which sits about 1-1/2 inches above the rails. The Lo Pro Soft Roll-Up # TX584901 is a bit more glossy. It resembles a shiny vinyl unlike the Pro X15 # TX1484901. Both install basically the same and the latch system is the same. Only difference is the height added to the truck bed and the finish of the top....

• Comparing Rear Anti-Sway Bar with Air Bag Kit for a 2018 Ram 1500
• Installing the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1129-135 on your 2018 Ram 1500 will help with sway while an air bag kit like the Firestone # F2595 will not only help with that sway, but it will also help with rear sag. If you're leaning towards something that is maintenance free and helps with the sway then go with the anti-sway bar. For something that offers more control and will help with rear sag then definitely go with an air bag kit. Let me know what you're looking to get out of...

• What's The Difference Between A TruXedo Elevate CS # TX24NV And FS # TX84NV Rack
• The TruXedo Elevate # TX24NV is a 'CS' rack and the # TX84NV is an 'FS' rack. CS stands for compact size and FS stands for full size. If you had a Ford Maverick/Ranger, or Chevy/GM Colorado/Canyon then you would want a CS rack. For a full size truck like the 2017 Ram 1500 you have listed you would need the FS # TX84NV.

• Comparing SumoSprings And Timbrens For A 2018 Ram 1500
• I agree that the SumoSprings will offer a better ride than the Timbrens. Timbrens do offer a higher capacity and are recommended for vehicles that are under a constant load like a truck with a camper in the bed. The downside of the Timbrens is that it will affect the factory ride when you are not towing. They do not make constant contact with the axle and you will feel the hard rubber making contact when you go over bumps. Sumo springs also do not make constant contact with the axle,...

• Comparing Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Systems BXW1006 And BLU66FR
• The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BXW1006 and the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BLU66FR are identical aside from different shanks included in each kit. The # BXW1006 uses a shank that can be adjusted from a 7" drop to a 13" rise. The # BLU66FR uses a shank that can be adjusted from a 7.8" drop all the way to a 14.72" rise, so this one offers a little more versatility.

• How to Determine What Sidewinder Will Fit 5th Wheel Trailer
• Since that's the only number you can find then we can still get you the right Sidewinder, but you'll need to do some measuring to be sure you get the right one. Reason is, I reached out to Lippert to try and identify what pin box you have, and they said they weren't familiar with that number and had not seen something like that so it wasn't the pin box or chassis serial number. I have added a link to a help article called "Measuring to Determine the Correct Replacement Pin Box for a 5th-Wheel...

• Comparing Firestone and Air Lift Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs on 2018 Ram 1500
• The biggest difference between the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4185 and Air Lift 1000HD Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL60818HD is the capacity of the Air Lift. The Air Lift helper springs have a 2,100 lb load-leveling capacity compared to the 1,000 lb capacity of the Firestone springs which gives you more leeway when towing. The higher capacity of the Air Lift, along with the lifetime warranty they come with, are why I recommend them over the option from Firestone...

• The Curt MV Weight Distribution System w/ Friction Sway Control # C17062 is rated for a trailer with a tongue weight of 800-1,000lbs and a maximum trailer weight of 10,000lbs. It is quite a bit different from the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37120ET I recommended and rated for 800-1,200lbs of tongue weight and a trailer up to 12,000lbs. Mainly the Curt uses a friction bar sway control and round bar weight distribution. The Equal-i-zer has trunnion weight distribution bars...

• Fastway e2 vs. Blue Ox TrackPro for 7,000 lb Trailer
• Both the Fastway e2 and Blue Ox TrackPro are going to provide your 7,000 lb GVWR 2021 Micro Minnie 2108DS with excellent leveling and sway control at the spring bars, but there are a couple of distinctions between the two. First, let's just mention the correct system for your 7,000 lb GVWR trailer. You will first need to know your total tongue weight (TTW), which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to go trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your...

• Is There a Difference Between Rhino-Rack Euro Bar and Vortex Crossbar Wind Noise
• Yes, the 59" Rhino-Rack Euro Bar Crossbars RREB150B (discontinued) will produce more wind noise than the 59" Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA150B-2. This is due to the aerodynamic design of the Vortex crossbars which have less wind noise and drag. I recommend going with the Vortex system because it performs and looks better than the square Euro Bar crossbars. Here are the parts you need for your 2017 Ram 1500: 59" Vortex Crossbars - # RRVA150B-2 2500 Series Legs - # RRRLKVA Fit...

The newest one, the IQ, has a boost feature and works proportionally in reverse. The boost feature increases the initial amount of braking power and has 3 levels depending on the weight of the trailer being towed....

• Best Engine Oil Cooler for 2015 Ram 1500 5.7 Liter
• Both the Derale # D15405 and # D15602 are great options for your 2015 Ram 1500. Since engine oil coolers are not vehicle specific, either cooler will work well for you. The # D15602 is a stacked-plate design which generally cools faster and more efficiently, which is why it's able to be so much smaller. In terms of efficiency, the stacked-plate design is the best at cooling the engine oil. This oil cooler measures 13 inches wide by 4-9/16 inches tall by 2 inches deep. Since it's smaller...

• Comparing Trunnion Vs. Round Spring Bars for Weight Distribution Systems
• There are two different types of spring bars for weight distribution systems, round like part # FA94-00-1033 and trunnion like part # EQ37121ET. The trunnion spring bars start out square and taper down. The round spring bars are round from start to finish. The main difference between them is ground clearance. The trunnion spring bars provide more ground clearance than the round spring bars. I am not aware of any significant differences in performance.
