I've been thinking of going with these:

Heavy Duty Front and Rear Coil Springs for Dodge Ram 1500 ? 5500 and D250/350 Pickups

Might even put the airlift bags in them depending on how my horse trailer makes the truck sit when loaded.

These are what I use. I had the same problem, with a work truck, but the springs really helped out.

I prefer the springs to the airbags, they just give me better piece of mind.

I put the RCX 2.5 lift with the 1.75 spacer I believe it was. Truck almost got same factory rake so I can load her up Pritty good with no worries of going nose high , it's all coming out next week though to make room for my BDS lift but if you tow it's no good to get the truck level. You gotta learn to embrace the Rake bro lol

Most people use the AirLift 1000 but if you want a more automatic solution, look at the Fierstone Coil Rite. It's airbags with a small compressor and a dash-mounted panel with inflate/deflate switches and pressure gauges.

I use the AirLift 1000 as I only haul/tow heavy a few times a year, but if I did it regularly, the Firestone kit is the way I'd go.

I have installed Superlift 2 inch rear coils (part number #140),they stated that these springs increase bed payload by 250,or 450 pounds I am not sure which fiqured.No more squat with a 10,000 pound trailer behind,along of course with Nitto terra grap's P 305/50/20.

on topic with atleast getting the aftermarket rims. I personally don't know the off set of the Sport Rims, but I can tell you that a wheel offset close to " 0 " or " negative " offset will push your rims out to get you tire space.

Stock 20 inch rims are +19 I do believe
