To install the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs, part # F2299, on your 2006 Dodge Ram with a lift kit, you will need to use a lift spacer kit.

For a 6-inch lift you will need the Firestone Lift Spacer, part # F2375. You will need to check and see the actual lift you got from your lift kit. The # F2375 bracket kit is designed to be used with the Firestone Air Springs and trucks that are lifted 6 inches. You will want to measure the distance between the upper and lower brackets of your # F2299 spring kit. To use the 6-inch lift kit, it should measure between 11-1/2 and 12-1/2 inches between the mounting brackets.

If you find the measurement is not between 11-1/2 and 12-1/2 inches you may need a smaller spacer, such as Firestone Lift Spacer, part # F2373, which is for a 5-inch lift. The measurement between the brackets would measure 10-1/2 and 11-1/2 inches.

I have linked instructions for the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs, part # F2299, and the instructions for the lift spacer kits.
