I definitely have to go with Firestone.
For one the Firestone kits that are compatible with your 2016 Ram 3500 use 4-ply rubber and the AirLift kits use 2-ply. This won't impact their capacity but will make a difference in how well they'll hold up to wear and tear. Also, the rubber is connected to the metal end plates by using a rolled crimp seal to prevent leaks. AirLift does not use this same method and simply crimps the rubber into the end plate.
The Firestone airbags for your Ram will be the Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2615 if you have 4-wheel drive and # F2616 for 2-wheel drive.
To go with the bags you may also be interested in the Firestone Air Command Compressor # F2158. This will allow you to adjust the air pressure in the air bags from inside the cab of your truck with just the flip of a switch. Also the Tubing Cutter # AL10530 can make the installation easier and help prevent leaks by helping provide a straight cut.
