I've got a 2021 1500. Wondering if anyone has added the coil rubber spacers to assist with towing a heavier object? I'm not sure it will help with weight on tounge?
Thanks!

Greetings, I have a 2016 1500 Big Horn that I purchased used from my local dealer. There is a lift to the truck but I am not sure how much or how high. I recently overloaded the bed and suspect that I may have "flattened" the right rear spring as the truck has a slight right rear sag. I am looking for a recommendation on how to increase the load capacity of the truck. I am not looking to lift it any more than it already is nor do I want to install air bags. Currently the most I plan on towing is a 10' utility trailer with a 12,000 GVW. Towing will be with a frame mounted hitch. Any real advice will be greatly appricated.

That shouldn't cause any damage to the springs. You are talking 300 lbs. spread between two springs on a 6,000+ truck. I would guess the truck has always looked that way, just you just noticed it under the circumstances.
Several companies sell higher rated rear coil springs. You just need to verify what you have on the truck now. Some lift kits use replacement (taller) rear springs and some just use the stock springs with spacers. Also verify the rear is actually lifted....pretty common to do a 2"ish lift on only the front the "level" the truck.
