So I’ve been searching thru the previous post on here for a couple days and I think I may have pieced together the answer thru a few different threads I just want to make sure I’m understanding this right.
I have a 2022 Ram 2500 Bighorn w/ a 6.7 and we really like it. Only complaint is ride quality as it seems you feel EVERYTHING even if your towing or not. I have a 6700 lb travel trailer with a hitch weight of 714 lbs and use a Reese WD hitch. The whole setup works fine and gets the job done no problem but I was wanting to maybe change out some basic suspension parts to make the ride a little nicer especially when not towing.
So far it seems like folks will put some Bilstein 4600 shocks all the way around to upgrade the current shocks and then put Thuren or Carli springs in the rear that are a little softer. Which increases ride quality while not towing but the softer springs cause the truck to sag when you tow more so than the factor springs by about a half an inch. Then people ad the Airlift 5000 or similar rear airbag kit to combat the sag while towing. This all seems kind of like a lot.
So the question is does anyone know of a popular “one and done” setup that’s widely used as a good in between for towing and everyday driving?
Thanks for any help or advise.
