The suspension system on Dodge Ram is specifically designed and job-rated to handle the workload for which the vehicle is rated. Springs, control arms, and shock absorbers are major suspension components.
Rear springs are available in single stage, progressive, and in combination with auxiliary springs.
Ram Pickup's reputation for longevity begins with its frame. It's formed with 36,000-psi steel. All models have a boxed front crossmember for strength. On 1500s, the center section is seven inches. Chassis cab models get secondary C channel crossmembers, rear side rails and an 11-inch center section.
