Choosing Between SumoSprings Solo and Rebel for 2022 Ram 2500

Question

Question:

Item # SS64VR Rebel vs Item # SSR-312-54 the Solo Sumo for the rear of 2022 Ram 2500 4x4 for towing an RV. Travel trailer is likely 8,000 to 8,500 loaded. Ram has no issues with it until we hit broken or slit pavement and then we have porpoising. We will trade for larger RV in not too distant future and we are about max on this Rams payload of 2,165 because of a 40 g Titan fuel tank in bed, kayaks and fishing gear. So for the current bouncing and future needs how do these two Sumo products compare? Price is an issue, I will be retired soon, and the blue rebel comes in a little more $ plus may need prof. help on the install. It would not be in the budget this spring the solo might be. But, is the Rebel the one we would regret not buying?

I would choose the Rebel # SS64VR over the Solo # SSR-312-54 for your 2022 Ram 2500 for two reasons. The first is the capacity. Although there isn't much of a difference between the two, based on what you will be towing and hauling the additional support will be beneficial.

The second reason is the ride quality. You previously mentioned your wife's back and the importance of the unloaded ride quality. It is primarily for that reason that I would say the Rebel is the best choice for you. The two piece design ensures the best unloaded ride quality.

We don't have an installation video for the Ram, but I did attach one below on a Silverado so you can get a general idea on the process. The installation for the Ram is a bit simpler, and many customers install these themselves which would save you that extra money. I have also attached the written instructions for your reference.

The SumoSprings Rebel #SS64VR is what you want if the best ride loaded and unloaded is your concern. The two piece design will be better overall on the Rebel. This is the model with the lower capacity of 3,000 lbs which should be plenty. The Solo…

For the weight of your slide in camper the heavier duty Timbren kit part #TDRTT3500E that you referenced would be the way to go. This can provide up to an additional 8,000 lbs of suspension support so it will work well for your application.

The SumoSprings are definitely the best choice for your 2022 Ram 2500. The Timbren will give you a rough ride when unloaded while SumoSprings have a minimal impact on unloaded ride quality. Also, the #TDRTT3500E is a severe service kit. The only…

Since the air bag suspension enhancement kits like the #AL57289 that you referenced would limit your suspension articulation since they attach at the top and bottom of the bracket you'd be better off with a kit like the Timbren part #TDR2500D…

Answer 12

Because it replaces and installs in the same spot as the factory bump stop, the Timbren TDR2500D is compatible with your 2019 Ram 2500. The fact that your truck has the OEM air suspension won't affect the fit. The kit is compatible with both 2WD…
