The bags are where the leafs go so it makes it very stable the only reason i am buying bags is the windy roads with the water tote you can feel it a bit side to side but not bad enough where i had to slow down for turns
Makes sense the bags will help moreso due to their location than increasing spring rate.
Other than than the rear springs, the 2014-later 2500 and 3500 SRW trucks are identical down to the last bolt. Same frame, 50KSI steel, same axles, axle ratings, same tires, no physical difference. The ONLY difference is the US Govt DOT GVWR ratings, which are mostly arbitrary depending on how the OEM markets the truck.
The coil springs in a RAM 2500 have a similar spring load to a leaf spring SRW RAM 3500. Sag with trailer loads are similar if not favoring the 2500. However, the spring rate on a 2500 is softer, hence the better ride and lower GVWR rating to fit under the arbitrary DOT 10,000lb GVWR limit.

Leaf springs have been part of vehicles suspension since the beginning, and on horse drawn buggies even before the motor car existed. Most passenger cars used leaf springs on all four corners until the 1940s, and on the rear until the late 1970s. Due to their industrial application, most 4wd...www.dieselpowerproducts.com
