Question:
I have a 2018 RAM 2500 crew cab 4x4, 6- 4inch bed with the 6.7L Cummins and the factory 5 th wheel prep kit. What Firestone ride rite air bags and compressor do you recommend? Also, I will be pulling a 5th wheel RV, what 20k sliding hitch do you recommend.

Helpful Expert Reply:
For your 2018 Ram 2500 crew cab, 4x4, with the Cummins engine and factory rail kit the Firestone Ride Rite kit part # F2598 that you referenced is a confirmed fit. The compressor kit I recommend is the Firestone Air Command part # F2097 because it has the heavier duty compressor which means it will fill the bags quicker and because you can control the compressor and monitor air pressure from inside the cab of the truck.
For a sliding fifth wheel hitch I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM8550035 which has a 21k capacity because unlike other hitches that require you to get out and operate the slider every time you need it this slider activates on it's own as you make a tight turn which means you don't every have to worry about it. You'll only need the Ram rail kit adapter part # DM6099 too and you'll be set.
