Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a 2018 Ram 1500 Pulling a 5th Wheel Trailer

Question:

Is there a suspension enhancement available to permit 5th wheel towing with my 2018 RAM 1500 5.7, Longhorn, 3.21 rear end 5.5 bed?

Yes, there is! The best option would be the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs item # SSR-307-47. These are custom fit for your 2018 Ram 1500. They have a 1,500 lbs load leveling capacity that will keep your rear end from squatting when you are hooked up to your 5th wheel trailer.

The best part about the SumoSprings item # SSR-307-47 is they work off a system called progressive load control. The springs do not engage unless there is weight placed on them. The more weight you add the more they engage. This means when you're driving around not towing your trailer you won't notice them unlike the Timbren item # TDR1500DS you were looking at. Timbren's negatively affect your daily driving as they stiffen up your rear suspension.

I have linked an installation video below to help you get these Helper Springs set up.
