Question:
Hi, I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 and it has a 6 lift I believe and I am looking for Firestone air bags for it. Do you carry a kit that will fit my truck and if so how much is it? Thanks,

We do have a Firestone air suspension kit for your 2004 Dodge Ram 2500! You have two options: Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2299 rated for 5,000lbs and Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # F2701 rated for 7,500lbs. Both will work for your truck, but I would go with the first option rated for 5,000lbs if you tow occasionally and do not get close to maxing out your vehicle's towing capacity. On the other hand, if you tow heavy loads that are close to your vehicle's max towing capacity and consistently have the rear end squatting, then I recommend going with the heavier duty 7,500lb setup to take on that excess weight.
You will need spacers for your 6" lift. If your lift is exactly 6" then you can use Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Vehicles w/ 6" Lift # F2375, but you will want to measure your lift to ensure exactly how much space was added and use a spacer according to that measurement.
I also recommend adding a compressor kit which allows you to control the air bags from inside the cab of your truck instead of airing them up at the back of your vehicle every time you want to adjust them. The Firestone Air Command II - Analog Gauge w/ Standard-Duty Compressor - Dual Function - 130 psi # F2178 will work well for your setup.
Air bag suspension setups will reduce rear-end sag and improve the handling of the truck while reducing body roll on turns. Keep in mind this will not increase your vehicle's towing capacity but will simply assist your current suspension with heavy loads and weight distribution. I attached demonstration videos for these products.
