Rear Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 Dually
Question:
Hi, I am considering this option for my dodge 05 dually 3500 4wd. I am installing a camper that weighs about 3000 and then I will be towing a boat with a tongue weight of about 350lbs.. would these work or do I need something else? Thanks

The SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs Kit, # SSF-302-47, is designed for the front suspension on a 2005 Dodge Ram 3500.
Since the weight you will be carrying is in the back with the camper and boat, you will probably want rear springs. You would need the SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs Kit - Rear Axle, # SSR-302-47. These are designed for Non-Cab and Chassis, 4 wheel drive 3500 models. The springs will help with sag associated with heavy loads in the truck bed and sway associated with towing. I have included a link to the installation details.
