Recommended Air Bags For Rear Sag in 2020 Ram 2500 To Tow Forest River Cardinal Luxury 375BKX
Question:
I have a 2020 Ram 2500 and I am experiencing rear sag from towing my Forest River Cardinal Luxury 375BKX I thought about Timbrens but have heard about issues with ride quality. Do you suggest air bags?
asked by: Mike
Expert Reply:
I recommend to use air bags instead of Timbrens because they will provide a better ride quality while the truck is loaded and unloaded. I recommend to use Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2598 on the 2020 Ram 2500 because they are adjustable from 5 psi to 100 psi so they will not create a stiff ride when the truck is not loaded. These air bags are also compatible with the 5th wheel hitch in the bed. I have attached an installation video for your reference.
I recommend to add a compressor Firestone Air Command II part # F2168 which is a dual function system that will allow you to level out the payload if you need to. Having an on board compressor system makes it much easier to inflate/deflate the bags compared to stopping at a convenience station for air.
