Are Air Bag Helper Springs Or SumoSprings a Better Option For a 2022 Ram 2500?
Question:
Have a 2022 Ram 2500 diesel which has a 2” leveling kit on the front. We tow a fifth wheel toy hauler at times which causes the rear end to sag. Air bags or Sumo Springs? I like the no maintenance portion of the sumo springs but will it reduce the sag? Thanks

Expert Reply:
The main benefit of the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2598 is you can easily adjust the air pressure in the springs using a Compressor System # AL74000 to not only level your 2022 Ram 2500 but also dial in the ride quality.
With the SumoSprings you have several options with different weight ratings.
1,500LB # SSR-312-47
2,800LB # SSR-312-54
3,000LB # SS64VR
5,000LB # SS27GR
The heavier capacity will cause your rear end to sag less but do understand the higher capacity will also cause you a rougher ride when unloaded and hitting bumps. So while being maintenance free they are not as forgiving as the air springs.
