Which Shocks to Eliminate the Loaded BOUNCE?

[Patriot MotorSports]

I have been looking for several weeks to replace the pathetic shocks on my 2021 RAM 3500.

Unfortunately, all I find are shocks for lifted trucks.

I want to find a set of remotes with adjustable valving and replaceable fluid, so IF needed, i can change the rates.

I have lowered the front 1.5" so the truck does not squat when hauling a heavy load, and this has dramatically reduced the bounce leveraged by towing a heavy trailer.

The photo below of the Zyl Vardos "Moon Dragon" shows the lack of squat with the 2400# tongue load, but the factory shocks need help.

The more significant issue is when traveling on the North East roads like New York & Jersey, the drivetrain takes a beating as if I were driving on the Moon!!

I am looking for suggestions!

Thanks!

Now that I'm able to take a second to give a better reply, here we go.

Thuren Leafs were the most considerable improvement for the bounce I believe you are talking about, but that's going to push you into airbags and Daystar cradles to support the heavy-end loads. It will take about 2k lbs without but just all-around better to add them.

You go from the factory five-leaf pack to a full progressive 14 leaf pack that helps prevent the super whiplash feeling.

It also allows them to tune the shocks very well to the spring.

Dons leafs provide 1/2" of rear lift, which can be removed with his 1/2" lowering shackles if desired.

He also offers multiple heights of front coils to keep them as low as desired.

I have zero regrets about the entire suspension setup because of all the different things I've ever spent money on one of these trucks.

Thanks!

I have spent the last hour reading everything on their website and will be calling tomorrow to place my order and see if, within the 8-10 months wait time, I will still have a front & rear axle attached.

Good to hear.

You shouldn't be disappointed other than the wait time on shocks, but not much any supplier can do about that, unfortunately.
