Question:

Hello. Im looking to buy a set of airbags for my truck. It’s a 2003 Dodge ram 2500. I have the airbag kit picked out already. The thing I am having troubles with is finding a spacer for it. My truck has a 5” lift and was wondering if you guys have anything that would work with my set up. I’m getting the heavy duty Firestone ride rite kit if that makes a difference. Thank you!

Yes, we do have something that will compensate for your 5" lift. You will want to use the 4" Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2370. Most likely your 5" lift isn't 5" in the back and a 4" spacer is what you will need to use the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs item # F2701 on your 2003 Ram.

The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2701, you were looking at, are confirmed to fit your 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 and will provide you with a 7,500 lbs 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 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.
