Question:

I have a 2018 ram power wagon that I tow my toy hauler camper with.. The tongue weight is 1100lbs, dry weight is 8000lbs. GVRW 11k. I have a equalizer bar.. and still nose up? Can I install air bags also?

You can also install suspension enhancement to give more support to the rear suspension of your 2018 Ram Power Wagon but if your WD isn't reducing the sag and leveling the truck that might not be the answer to your situation.

One of three things is going on most likely right now. Either your WD system isn't set up properly, it's rated too low for you tongue weight, or your truck's tongue weight capacity is being exceeded and a WD system can't compensate for that. I'd verify those things and proceed from there.

For your 2018 Ram 2500 Power Wagon the Firestone kit part # F2598 would be the correct air bag kit. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

For a compressor kit then the heavy duty part # F2097 which will work great to make inflating the bags and maintaining them easier. The compressor will inflate faster than standard compressors and the gauge inside the vehicle will allow you to monitor and inflate them from inside the vehicle.
