For your 2017 Ram 2500 Tradesman, the best option for air bags is going to be the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers item # AL88289. These Air Lift springs have a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity. The included jounce bumpers will offer even more support when your air bags are running at a lower PSI.

I have added an installation video below.

For an onboard air compressor with gauges you will want to use the Air Command II Xtreme Duty Compressor item # F2549. This kit comes with an analog gauge, 2 gallon air tank, 25' hose, and a tire inflation tool with a built in pressure gauge.
