Question:
I am looking to set up my new 2022 Ram 3500 long bed, with the factory pucks, with a full 5th wheel hitch towing package. Looking for a B&W hitch, some wiring for the bed, and a new brake controller because I don't really like the factory controller the truck came with. I have been looking at the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite and think that's the one I want to go with. I am also looking at adding the Firestone F2710 air bags as I had them on my last truck and really liked being able to adjust them when I needed to. So what do you guys have available for me?

If you are looking for a full 5th wheel set up on your 2022 Ram 3500 with the factory pucks in the bed, we have exactly what you need. For the B&W hitch, you will want to go with the Companion # BWRVK3600. This is rated up to 25,000 pounds and is American made. This will also lock right into the pucks in your bed and will be a quick and easy install.
The Mighty Cord 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness # A10-7007 will also be a good option for the bed hook up. This has a nice sturdy door and will hook directly into your Ram's existing wiring, so another quick install.
The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR is also a very highly recommended brake controller. This will have one of the cleanest looks once installed as only the adjustment/manual override knob will be visible. So no box to hit your knee on. The # 331-TPH-020 pigtail will also plug into a port under your dash making this an easier install as well.
The Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2710 requires no drilling required for installation, is compatible with in-bed hitch, and can be used for vehicles with or without factory top overload springs. so it is very versatile. However, it does not fit vehicles with factory Air Assist systems, so that is something to be aware of. With it having 7,500 pounds of load leveling capacity at 150 psi, it is a highly recommended addition.
