Rear Springs

[Nibis]

Has anyone upgraded their rear springs for towing. We have a 3 horse trailer, and the rear sag is a bit more than I like. I was thinking of the springs I see that are advertised as being 35% stiffer.

Airbags are the way to go in my opinion.

Springs are one way to go.2009-2021 Dodge Ram 1500 Rear 2wd 4wd - Rear Coil Spring Kit (50% Capacity Increase - Heavy Towing) [TTC-1211] | $182.95 | SD Truck Springs | Leaf Springs, Helper Springs and Suspension Parts
As 31Ramit said, airbags are an excellent alternative. The nice thing about the bags is that when you are done you air down and get your nice ride back. The price is roughly the same.

I added the Timbren SES to mine. Tows my travel trailer great.

Another vote for airbags. I towed a 32' travel trailer at 7k pounds fully loaded no problem. Weight distribution hitch of course. Bags were awesome, really limit the bounce at speed. I usually ran about 15lb.

I tow a 19' boat and tandem axle trailer all the time. Bags help here too, less about bounce more about sitting level because I think a saggy looking hitched truck looks goofy.

I just upgraded from a 16' open tandem to a 18' enclosed v nose which now gives me some sway .I think I have the distribution of weight correct but still get some sag and sway.I really like the ride on my 22 1500,3.92 rears and fully loaded probably about 5500-6000 pounds
