Question:

I have a 2022 Ram 2500 and would like some springs to compensate for the 2350lb pin weight of my trailer and the hitch to eliminate the sag I've been getting. What do you suggest?

For your 2022 Ram 2500 I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-312-54. These springs are rated for a 2,800lb capacity, which will cover your trailer's pin weight, weigh of the hitch, and any other items you might be hauling in the bed of your truck. These custom fit springs are a simple bolt-on no-drill installation.

These springs have a progressive load control, which means the springs will compress according to the weight of your cargo. The springs compress easily at first for soft engagement and a less bumpy ride for lighter loads and the springs will compress by as much as 80 percent for superior support of heavy loads. They work independently from each other to compensate for off-center loads and reduce body roll during sharp turns.
