OK boys and girls, I have a Ram 2021, 3500 4 wheel tow vehicle. Has 51000 miles and ready for Shocks. Towing 310 rl with two thirds of the miles towing. Feeling like a bouncy house going through Ohio from PA to Elkhart for rally. So what brand, model number and why you recommend. First time posting.

As the above said, Bilstein. I had 4600 on my '14 Ram 3500 and will replace the OEM with them when OEM wear out on our '21 3500. You may also want to consider Sumo Springs for your 310. I put them on our 340 and it made a noticeable difference. If your trailer is bouncy (and they all do) that could cause the truck to be bouncy.

I got the Sumo Springs after watching the Wayward Waggs video (so sad they're leaving the road, but understand)

I believe, but not sure, Ram is putting Bilsteins on their dulleys.

Thanks, I've been looking at Sumo, haven't pulled trigger yet. Question: I park on a gravel pad that's about 2" off level. Enough to put 2 x 10 down to park on. You think this is to much out of level for sumo install?

I don't think so. If I remember right, you'll want to make a measurement with the axles loaded(jacks retracted) and then install them with the jacks extended so you have enough room for the install. Better check the instructions in case I'm lying. :oops:

Another idea for your truck bounce is Timbren SES, they take the place of the axle bump stops but assist in squat and bounce. Put them on our '24 Silverado 3500hd and it really helped with squat and bounce.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Agree with all those that say Bilstien!
