Question:

Part # for air bag system? A 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 rwd. Can air bags interchange say from f-350 to Dodge Ram 1500 . If so all I really need would be the brackets for 2005 Ram setup excluding the bags. Please advise and maybe a good video link to the part # in question. Thank you.

The best air bag system for your 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 is going to be the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2286. This system is custom fit and provides 4,800 lbs of load leveling capacity. I really like the Firestone airbags because they use a crimp rolled design which is much more durable than the band clamp used with Air Lift kits.

I took a look out our options for air bags and none of the systems for a F-350 are compatible with your Ram 1500. The air bags are all different sizes.

I recommend adding the Firestone Air Command I item # F2097. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from the comfort of your cab.

I have linked installation videos for both parts below so you can get a better idea of what's involved with the set up process.
