I would be happy to help you and I have a great setup for your 2017 Ram 2500 4WD. I would not recommend the Timbren item # TDR2500D you referenced. Those are rated up to 8500 lbs and will offer a stiff ride when you are not loaded up.
For your rear axle, I recommend the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs item # SS27GR. These helper springs are a 2-piece system that connects at top and bottom and provides unlimited suspension travel and movement for a smooth, comfortable ride. The springs work independently from each other to compensate for off-center loads and reduce body roll during sharp turns. They have a weight capacity of 5,000 lbs when they are at 50-percent compression.
For your front axle, I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs item # SSF-302-47. These helper springs upgrade your vehicle's front suspension for improved driver control and comfort. They have a 1,200 lbs capacity which help to support heavy front-end loads to keep your vehicle level.
