Question:
I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 pick up. I purchased the BandWBWGNRK1394 gooseneck hitch from you. I would like to add air bags to the rear axle. What airbag system do you recommend? Thank you in advance for your help.

Expert Reply:
I do have a solution, but unfortunately there are no air bags for your 2002 Dodge 2500 that are compatible with an in bed hitch like your # BWGNRK1394. Assuming you do not have factory top overload springs, the best option for suspension enhancement is the RoadActive Suspension # RAS3614-HD.
The RAS kit converts your factory leaf springs into a mechanically active suspension system. It will eliminate axle wrap, wheel hop, and bottoming out. It also keeps you level and reduces sway. The RAS tension automatically adjusts based on the load in your truck, and disengages when unloaded so there will be a minimal impact on unloaded ride quality.
The system will help extend the life of your suspension as well as your tires. It has a weight capacity of 3,000 lbs and comes with a 5-year warranty. It also features a bolt-on installation and is made in the USA.
