Hey guys... so over the weekend I had my front bilsteins set @ 2.8, 1.5"rear coil spring spacers, and 33x12.5x20 Atturo Trailblade MT tires all installed... I'm happy with the finished product except for when I put my tools, and homemade truck bed cargo slide in the truck is nose high by about 1/4"... I also have an ARE cap on the truck as well... I think I need to upgrade my rear coil springs to handle the additional weight... can anyone steer me in the right direction .....(the truck is a 16' hemi CC Laramie 1500)

TufTruck coil springs 1211 or 1223.
1211s are stock height springs and thr 1223s give a 1" to 1.5" lift so they say. both are 50% stronger then stock
They also sell 1223Vs that are 35% stronger and are variable rate springs.

1211. got them and love them

1223 are for constant laod, like a pickupbed camper and sch

1223V is like OEM springs, top few inches, then stiffens up as it sags.

1211 is constant linear rate and much stronger than OEM, yet nice riding spring.

Air Suspension?
Springs are likely / easiest option.

I've never crawled under an air ride ram to inspect

I'd look into getting tow bags. They sell the kits that sit right inside the spring. Run me about 30 pounds and I think it would be okay. That's in my honest opinion I plan on doing them and running them on my air comp I have on the truck for my train horns. I may have to upgrade the tank size but it'll be a good setup once it's done.

I have the 1223V. They're shorter than stock springs, but the back end sits the same height because they are stiffer and don't sag as much. The truck rides nice when the bed is loaded.
