New Ram coil spring 2500

there is different coil springs available.
sway bar is intended to reduce the body side to side role.
shocks are intended to slow down the suspension moving when you hit a pothole.
its really not a piece of junk if used for its intended purpose.
Its designed to carry X load (up to 3130 lbs including passengers), and ride comfortable empty.
without knowing exactly what he has, here is a typical 2500:
