Expert Reply:

Since your boat is light at only 3,500-4,000lbs trailer weight which will likely be between 400-600lbs of tongue weight you will not need a system with 3,000lbs of capacity. The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4185 are much easier to install and will provide between 500-2,000lbs of load leveling capacity.

This will be enough to level your Ram if that is the largest amount of weight you will be hauling. For these air bags I recommend the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL58WQ. These will allow you to adjust the air bags from your smart phone using the air lift app. It has a smart manifold that will ensure that air pressure stays within 3psi of your settings while driving. That will ensure that the bags do not go below the minimum 5psi and cause damage to the air bags.
