Another option is thicker bump-stops on the overload springs.
These are the rubber pads on the ends of the overload springs. By making them thicker, the overloads engage earlier. They're cheap and worth a try. I have them on my truck, and they work as advertised.
Doubt if they stiffen the suspension as much as the Stableloads though. And you will need to figure out which ones work best for your truck as they come in all sizes.

The Stableloads for a RAM are just that.

There are actually two kinds of stable loads. uppers (pictured above) that replace the factory bump stops. The second kind are a shim between the main spring pack and the lower overload and they can be disconnected.
Really I think they should have two different names for them, they are quite different products.

DH and I were talking about stableloads and the leaf springs and wondering if anyone has ever had one to break while under a load. He wonders due to the stress on the springs from the stableloads if there is a possibility of the spring breaking at the point of contact with the stableloads. DH worries too much and I fly by the seat of my pants. :B I think it would have to be some type of defect due to the hard steel but you never know.
