Recommended Air Bags for a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 With 5th Wheel Hitch

Question

Question:

I have a 2006 Dodge 2500 SLT 2X4 5.9 cummins set up with a pullrite superglide hitch. I am needing airbags in the rear to accomplish a more level ride. Which kit or kits are available for my set up?

The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2299 are a fit for a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 (2WD and 4WD) and will work with an in-bed fifth wheel or gooseneck so this will be the perfect option for you. They will do an excellent job of of helping maintain a level ride while coupled. The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs are my personal favorite because the air bags are extremely durable due to the crimp rolled design and the bags are made right here in the states with a lifetime warranty.

I have attached an install video for you to look over as well.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
