Question:

We have a 2018 4WD Ram 3500 Big Horn Dually. We live full time in a 39foot fifth wheel RV that weighs 21,000 lbs. We are looking for the best air bags for the rear suspension to help take stress off the leaf springs and keep the unit level. I would appreciate any advice you give me.

Expert Reply:

The best air bag kit we offer for a 2018 Ram 3500 (SRW and DRW) is the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs part # F2710. This system will do an excellent job of helping take strain off the existing suspension components as well as reducing sag which will help keep things level. The Firestone Ride-Rite is the best out there because their crimp rolled bag design (Air Lift = Band Clamp) is much more durable than other options and the kits are typically easier to install since they contain less parts. The 7,500 lb capacity will be perfect for full-timers.

I would however say that in order to really get the best results from this system, you'd want (not required) to add an air compressor kit and for this wireless is the way to go, the Air Command Compressor System part # F96VV in particular.
