Are all helper springs for a Dodge Ram 1500 the same?

Answer 1

Certainly not. There are various types of helper springs for all vehicles, including your Dodge Ram 1500. The most common types of helper springs are steel overload helper springs, air bag helper springs, add a leaf kits, and rubber bump stops like timbren kits. All can be used to achieve the desired load support. Some have advantages over others. Air bags are nice because you can have the ability to adjust your load support to your desired capacity by raising or lowering the pressure in the bags. However, many steel helper springs are progressive nowadays, meaning they will adjust with your load so that your factory ride is unaffected when you are unloaded. Timbren kits will act as a helper spring and give you load support when you need it as well. They are installed between the axle and the chassis and will make contact when your vehicle is loaded. All of these are good options, it depends on your situation and taste is to which you choose.
