Question:
I have a 2019 Ram 3500 crew cab long bed diesel and I have a 1” spacer in the rear. Would I need a spacer bracket or something in order to install the 5000lb or 7500lb air bag system on this vehicle?

Expert Reply:
According to Air Lift, you won't need a spacer for only a 1 inch suspension lift. They don't even offer a lift that small, so you'll be just fine.
For a LoadLifter 7500 XL kit that offers up to 7500 lbs of support, the # AL57531 Air Helper Spring Kit you'd looked at would be a great choice. For 5000 lbs of support, go with # AL57231. Both would be a fit for your truck UNLESS you have the factory air suspension.
You might also want to consider an on-board compressor system like # AL25856 which would give you the ability to add or remove air pressure from the system from the truck cab without needing to stop at a gas station to add air to the helper springs.
I've linked to some installation videos that you might find helpful.
