Recommended Suspension Enhancement For A 2012 Ram 2500 With 4.5" Of Sag
Question:
I have a 2012 Ram 2500 4x4 Megacab. My travel trailer squats it about 4.5 inches. My 5th wheel hitch weight is approx 2299 lbs. What would you recomend for me to use.

Expert Reply:
Since you're getting 4.5" of squat and you won't always be towing your trailer the best option to maintain a good unloaded ride quality is going to be air springs. For your 2012 Ram 2500 4WD I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57295. These springs have a 5,000lb capacity and psi range from 5 to 100 psi. While loaded up you can increase the psi to reduce sag and help level out your ride, and when unloaded you can reduce the psi to prevent a negative ride quality.
If you want to be able to adjust the psi while on the go then I recommend picking up the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL25980 as well. This compressor has a remote and Bluetooth capability so that you can check and adjust your psi levels with your phone instead of having to run air lines into the cab and mount an analog meter.
