Recommended Air Bags for a 2019 Ram 2500 for Towing

Question

Question:

I have a 2019 RAM 2500 short bed diesel. I am looking to purchase a 5th wheel camper. I wanted to install suspension airbags beforehand. Can you recommend a system that will work on my truck? I would like to see the manually operated basic system and one with the onboard compressor and controller as well. And, is the basic system upgradeable? Can the compressor and controls be added later? Thank You. Regards,

The air bag kit I recommend for a 2019 Ram 2500 is the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL57589. This kit offers a bolt-on install and is compatible with in-bed hitches. I have attached an install video I did below. It comes with manual inflation valves. If you want to upgrade to an on-board compressor I highly recommend the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System part # AL58WQ due to the easy and nonintrusive install. The on-board compressor can be added later down the road without issue.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
