Hey Orlando, thanks for reaching out!
Yes, you can install air bags on your lifted 2017 Ram 3500, and for that I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2478 since they have the superior double convoluted design.
To get this to fit with your 6.5" lift kit you'll need the 6" Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2375. Please note this is for if your vehicle is actually lifted by that 6.5" - sometimes lifts aren't exact representations of how much lift they will actually give your vehicle.
