If you are having an issue bottoming out, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 part # AL57295. It's specifically designed for 3/4-ton and 1-ton pickup trucks, motor homes, and commercial trucks and will provide your Dodge Ram with up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling support reducing strain on your rear suspension. Thus improving both safety and ride quality.

On the other hand, if you are looking for a softer suspension, I recommend replacing your current suspension on your 2011 Dodge Ram 3500 6.7 liter to make your ride softer. Anything we currently offer will assist with bottoming out issues and carrying heavy loads and if anything, will make the ride stiffer.
