Hi everyone,
I am looking to upgrade my overloads on a 2012 dodge ram.
Can anyone recommend somewhere in edmonton or just north, I am in ft Mac but will make a trip down out of getting work done on my truck

Also thinking of a rear sway bar upgrade, any brands or suggestions

I have a slide in camper, all works fine just looking to improve the ride

Thanks

I would suggest air bags, I went with firestone ride rite, but there are others out there that as as good or better. This way you can adjust the ride as required vrs overload springs

X3, buy the 12v compressor so you can adjust the pressure from inside the cab as needed.

Another vote for air bags. Takes about an hour and 2 beer to install.

They will hook you up for whatever your needs may be.

Have these on my 2012 chev half ton crew. They don't mess up the ride at all when unloaded. Would recommend.

There is a trailer place in spruce grove that sells and installs them.

Tks everyone else as well
I do have air bags already that do a great job, but I find my overloads on this truck really soft

Check out overloads called "super springs". I put them on my dually motor home and they have been great. They actually mount in the stock axle spring and dont contact until weight increases enough to need them. Keeps your truck riding stock until overloaded. I have air bags in my 1 ton as well, by far prefer the super springs. Would have installed them in my truck if I had known. http://www.supersprings.com/

I second City Spring. They set me up with a axle and springs for a trailer a few years ago. Tell them what you want and ask them what they recommend. They will set you up real well.

City spring is expensive, and I Always found so busy, they Dont have the time of day to help smaller customers. I have used the hellwig ez 990, bolt on overload like super springs. They are adjustable, for a little while, untill the ubolts rust up or get gravel damaged threads. They do as advertised, ride well loaded but I didnt like the bolt on aspect.

I recently went to Tonka 4 wheel dive. Great guys, offer a few different products, and their price was the best of 4 quotes. They bent up an extra srping for my f150, rides like a truck again.
