I would tell the neighbor not to add any aftermarket rear suspension product till he loads the truck and hooks up to the trailer and makes a short trip.

We have a member who sold his '07 3500 SRW and bought the new 2500 Ram 6.4 hemi with rear coils to pull the same 12.5k 37' 5th wheel trailer with three slides. His comment was the 2500 with coils didn't swag anymore than his old 3500 SRW.
What I see posted on some of the truck camper publications and websites is the 2500 with coil springs don't sag as much as the 2500 with leaf springs when loaded with those heavy truck campers.
He also did a very detailed comparison with photos using a heavy 5er with his 2500 and a buddies 3500. If I recall correctly there was around a one inch difference in rear squat between the two.
