I have a 2014 Ram 2500 Tradesman package. My wife hates the stiffer suspension. What options do I have to soften the suspension for her comfort? Are there options for passenger side seat suspension only?
thanks

Passenger side only... not to my knowledge. Tell us more on how you use the truck..
daily driver?
tow daily/weekly,twice year? How often?
What weights do you tow?
Do you/she mind if it is a little taller?

I’ve ridden in a 13 Power Wagon just recently after replacing his front and rear shocks with Bilstein 5100s all the way around and it made it ride a little better. The problem with 2500 and 3500 models is that the suspension is stiffer because they’re work trucks and made to be able to haul heavier loads. So the suspension is stiffer and they ride differently than the 1500s. There isn’t a lot that you’re going to be able to do that I know of.

I spoke with Thuren a few days back; their level kit with front and rear springs is supposed to be much more plush than factory (can also get sway bar links to help with this). We still do a lot of towing so opted out of the rear springs but if you were going to tow, you could add air bags as well (these do compromise the rear ride even without air). Havent received it yet so I cant provide any information on the ride.

Look at thuren. It’s softer than stock by a longggg ways. With that towing is compromised but if not off-roading is easily fixed with added air bags. My cclb drove night and day different after their kit was out on. The other side of that too is the truck will be taller as it is a lift.
