Can Spacers be Used on SumoSprings on 2019 Ram 2500

Question

Question:

I have a 2019 Ram 2500Hemi with ARE Overland cap and Prinsu rack which adds a few pounds to the rear area of the truck. I also pull a 30 ft travel trailer about half a dozen times a year with a 600 pound tongue wait. Of course theres a couple hundred pounds of gear in the bed and front pass-through when we tow. I have recently installed a Thuren 2inch leveling kit on the front which takes out most of the rake yes bigger tires on the way...1/2 inch difference now backhigher to front. Am considering installing a 1 inch rear spacer still less rake than stock - 2.5 to counter anticipated sag 1 to 2inch depending... when the trailer is hooked up and also installing the sumo solo helper springs for additional leveling assistance and sway control...dont want to be a butt-draggero: Yes, I use an anti-sway/weight distribution hitch. Just looking for that perfect, balanced, controlled ride. Note Thuren customer service has mentioned this product as a solution to the above challenge. Now the questions 1. If I were to use this product, are there spacers that can be used to normalizeinch the recommended position on the Sumo helper spring relative to the axle to compensate for the 1inch spacer? 2. What is your expert opinion and advice on doing a setup like this? Other options? Considerations for this have been price Sumos + spacers still cheaper than most anything else Ive looked at, simplicity, ease of install, limited if any maintenance... Thanks in advance for your assistance,

Assuming the SumoSprings will fit they would be a great choice for additional support. In order to figure out if the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-312-47 will fit your 2019 Ram 2500 I recommend measuring the distance where they would install.. These come with a spacer but there are no additional spacers that can be used. When fully installed using the included 1/2" spacer these will be 6" tall. Ideally you want about a 1/4-1/2" gap, no more than 1". So if you measure and find the distance to be greater than 7" I would say they will not work.

If that is the case, your only option would be to use the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR2500D. This measures 5-3/4" and comes with a 1" spacer. You can add additional spacers as needed. You have the option of a 1" spacer # A25723-90AH00 or 1/2" spacer # TA25722-90P00.

I have attached some installation videos for your reference.
