I do have an option for you, however we do not have a rear air bag system available that is compatible with an in-bed hitch like the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck on your 2001 Ram 2500. The mounting brackets for all of the air bag systems will use the same space on the truck frame that is needed for your gooseneck brackets.

With this in mind the best solution will be a jounce-style spring that simply replaces the factory bump stop on your Dodge Ram like the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR1525H2, which is confirmed to fit your 2WD Ram. These Aeon hollow rubber springs feature a 6,000 pound weight capacity and will do a great job of providing additional support to improve the suspension and level your ride. Unlike air bags, you also won't have to worry about adjusting or checking these springs before each trip. After the initial installation this is a maintenance-free setup.

I have attached the written installation instructions that you can check out as well. All the needed hardware is included.
