From what I can see of those pics, the Dodge coils are NOT of the progressive design. If they are progressive, then it isn't by much.. Certainly not enough to make a difference in towing with heavy pin weights.

Unlike some of the others, I do not believe that picture showing equal squat when parked means anything.
What is important is how the springs act when actually towing.
A sway bar will not make springs progressive either.
