Recommended Suspension Enhancement For A 2017 Ram 2500 4x4
Question:
I publish the Vintage Camper Trailers Magazine and host several large vintage trailer rallies and events each year. I also do some marketing and showing for Capri Campers. I want to beef up my truck for more cross-country media tours. I am curious which of your products would have the most bang for the buck for my 2017 Ram 2500 4x4 Crew Cab Hemi. Sway bar, Sumo Springs, Shocks? The camper has a Dry Weight Base of 1100#s and a Dry Weight Loaded 1700#s.

If you're looking for the most "bang for your buck" then you'd be better suited installing air springs like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57289. These air springs have a 5,000lb capacity and 5 psi - 100 psi adjustability to fit a multitude of uses.
If you'd like an on-board compressor to be able to adjust the psi of your airbags while on the go then I recommend the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System for Air Helper Springs- Heavy Duty - Dual Path # AL25856. This compressor has an easy to use gauge and dual path setup to allow you to adjust the air springs separately to compensate for off-center loads.
