Hello,
I bought a used Ram 1500 2011 (4x4).
Today I loaded it with around 230 gallons of water and I noticed it that the back of the truck went down by a lot because of the weight.
I ve previously used trucks from other brands to load this same amount of weight and noticed that those wouldnt get as low as mine did. (Not bashing on dodge. I love my truck and the brand itself).
Anyways, earlier this year I was inspecting the suspension and noticed that the front coils had some weird and pretty ****** "lowering" job. Or at least I think thats what the previous owner attempted to do. Here is a video of the trucks suspension

The other day someone told me that it has some shorter coils and that is actually messing with my whole truck. Previous owner lived in the city. I live on a pretty rough rocky terrain ranch. So I want to make sure I have the proper suspension settings.
I was wondering if you guys could tell me, where can I find the actual proper coils of my truck. I would also like to know if there are some heavy duty ones or something not as soft (or is it supposed to be soft?)
Since I will be buying online, I want to make sure I am ordering the proper ones.
Please feel free to add any opinions or suggestions
Edit: extra info on my truck.
4x4 single cab
The inside of the bed meassures a wee bit more than 6feet. Idk if thats the short or long bed...
Looking for the 4 springs. I would like to chnage them all...
