Comparing Timbren and SumoSpring Jounce Suspension Enhancement on a 2022 Ram 1500  

Question:

I am going to add jounce springs to my rear axle for more support. I have some sag with a loaded bed. I was wondering if you could compare the sumosprings and timbrens? Is one a better option? Thanks.

Expert Reply:

Both the SumoSprings # SSR-307-47 and Timbren # TDR1500DQ for the rear axle of your 2022 Ram 1500 are jounce-style springs, but they do differ a bit as to the type of support they will provide.

If the bed on your Ram is consistently loaded, then the Timbren Rear Suspension System # TDR1500DQ will be the better option. These springs are made up of a more robust Aeon rubber and consequently feature a much higher weight capacity of 8,600 pounds. They will do a better job of reducing that sag and creating a smoother ride under load.

On the other hand, if you just occasionally have a loaded bed and more often ride with an empty bed, the SumoSprings # SSR-307-47 will be the best option. These springs are a bit softer than the Timbrens, so they allow for a more comfortable ride when you aren't actually hauling anything in the truck. They do feature a lower weight capacity of 1,500 pounds.
