For your 2016 Ram 3500 Dually, the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle that fit your truck are # F2616. These spings are extremely adjustable with air pressure between 5 psi and 100 psi. The air bags are adjustable individually with a manual inflation valves. The load-leveling capacity of these springs is 5,000 lbs. These are excellent springs I highly recommend.

The # F2582 you referenced, is a fit for Ford F-150's from 2015-2016 model years and has a 4,800 lb capacity.

You may also be interested in the Firestone Air Command I Compressor System with Analog Gauge and Heavy Duty Compressor - Single Path, # F2097. This kit will allow you to adjust the pressure in your Ride-Rite springs with the push of a button from the cab of your truck. It has a gauge that lets you know what the pressure is and the switch simply is moved up to increase air pressure or down to release air pressure.

Good catch. That will change things for your 2016 Ram 3500 that it is a 4x4. For the similar system, you would want the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle, # F2615. This will have all the same features, just made to fit a 4 wheel drive truck. It will have the 5,000 lb capacity at 100 psi max. I've attached and installation video for you. There is also an Extreme Duty option for your truck. It is the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle, # F2705. This kit will have a load leveling capacity of 7500 lbs. It will have an operating pressure of up to 150 psi.
