2500 Shocks

[AWLINK]

I have a 2020 Ram 2500 Tradesman and would like to replace the factory shocks with ones that would give me more stability when towing. Any thoughts.

Airbags, I don’t think shocks will help with that very much.

Shocks don't support, they cushion. Springs are the support

Yeah beefier springs or airbags. Springs will make your ride ever firmer, you're going to feel the bumps in the road. Airbags give you more control over stiffness, more air to haul less air for cruising.

Either bilstein 5100 or fox shocks. Bilstein are cheaper but ride a little rougher.

What are you pulling that requires more stability than a 2500 can provide?

I recently had a set of Air-Lift 7500XL air bags installed and they provide a bit more stability when towing the 5th Wheel. Air bags provide stability, but do not increase payload. They also make the ride slightly smoother in many cases.

REAR TRACK BAR KIT RAM 2500/PW (2014-2022)

The rear track bar equipped 2014+ 2500 Ram and Power Wagon has some strange handling quirks at higher speeds, mostly noticed on longer rolling bumps and dips in the road. Our rear track bar kit vitrually eliminates that wiggle, and transforms the truck into a very precise handling vehicle. Most...

This will also greatly cut down on the hop to the side the 2500's like to do when going over bumps.

Billsteins are a HUGE improvement over the stock Ram shocks in ride and handling. Has been true since the Gen2s onward. I ordered my new truck with the off road package specifically to get them on the 2500. Once you try those you can decide if you want to add air bags but either way, you will be VERY happy you switched to Billstein shocks.
