Front Axle Suspension Enhancement Kit for 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Long Horn with Western Snowplow
Question:
Good Morning...I have a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Big Horn, and recently installed a Western HTP plow. It weighs 400 lbs. I use it for my 600ft driveway. Would something like the DF 25004B fit, or is there another number? Looks easy to install. Would like to reduce my a bit. Thanks much !!

A 400-lb Western snowplow on the front end of your 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Big Horn can certainly give you reason to consider a front-axle suspension kit to reduce sag. Thank you for the photo of your truck and plow.
We offer SuperSprings kit # CSS-1168F that fits both crew and quad cab versions of your Ram 1500. This kit offers the advantage of installing inside your front coil springs, which means that there is no concern with interference with your plow's mounting hardware. Please refer to the linked video on this item.
Some jounce spring suspension kits can require similar mounting points as a plow mount and this can sometimes limit your options. But this coil helper spring kit has no such issue. It is also lower in cost and easier to install than the Timbren kit that fits your truck, part # TDF15004B. I checked the Western website but I could not access information about the plow mounting kit's installation point in order to check for compatibility. If you like you can review the linked instructions for kit # TDF15004B to see if it is compatible with your plow.
Please note that the kits you referenced, parts # TDDF05A and # TDF25004B, do not fit your 2012 Ram.
