Just installed ras3611hd on my 2018 Nissan Titan XD King Cab 4WD and was wondering if I can use either sumo springs or timbrens along with the ras system?

Since the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611 uses a different mounting system then the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TNRTTNA you will be able to mount both of them on your 2018 Nissan Titan XD.

You may need to temporarily loosen and possibly remove the RoadActive system from the mount on the U-bolts to install the Timbren Springs below the U-bolts on the leaf springs.

Remember these systems will not increase your maximum payload or towing. They are designed to only assist the factory suspension under load.
