I have a new 2017 Ram 1500. I put my Quad in the back of the truck and it sunk down quite a bit. I am looking into resolving this issue and was wondering what people's thoughts were on Air Bags vs Timbrens vs New Shocks...etc.

Thanks,

I just installed Timber Grove air bags and have Tuftruck 1211s coils as well.
I dont really like the idea of the Tembreins so went with bags and new springs.
I also have Bilsteins rear shocks.

Yeah these trucks are lacking in stock forum if your going to use it as a truck.

I have the Total Load Control (TLC) airbags. Timber Grove is another one of the popular no-cut airbag set-ups for our truck. If you put in airbags, coils are not needed. If you were putting a work body on the truck or didn't want airbags, then new coil springs would be the way to go.
Get the WirelessOne compressor setup for the airbags. You can adjust the pressure with a push of a button and it has presets also.

Air bags or timbrens should help....shocks will NOT help, unless they are air shocks or strut/coilovers.

Regular shocks do not support weight, they only stop the suspension from cycling.

You could also get stiffer rear springs as well.

I have got a deal in a set of Airlift 1000's. Only had them on the truck for a couple weeks. I would take $60.00 shipped to the lower 48 states of interested.

I installed Airlift 1000's and they work well. I threw a bicycle pump into the back so I can adjust them on the fly.

A good shock like the Bilsteins on all corners makes for a much better ride.

Do a search for Airlift in the exterior section, and towing/hauling section and you may find what you need.
