Stable Load vs Air Bags

Hi All,

Got a '12 Ram DRW. When hooked up I am not down hard on the overload springs, and on some roads I get a "bounce" type of ride as the truck picks up the front overload pad.

On Ram trucks the overload picks up the rear pad first and as the truck comes down some more the overload will then touch the front pad. On a Ford the pads are the same level and the overloads contact both pads at the same time.

So to stiffen up the rear I know I can add air bags. I found a product that attaches to the overload spring pad which will cause the overload to be picked up earlier which will stiffen up the rear.

Just exchange the existing bumper with a larger one. Has anyone used something like this. About 1/2 the price of a air bag kit. Plus you would not have to deal with air up and down.

The picture shows it in yellow.
