Hello Robert. We do offer a gooseneck hitch that will work on your 2003 Ram 3500 short bed. For that I recommend the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1313. The frame brackets will not interfere with your air bag brackets. Every air bag kit made for the 2003 Ram 3500 was made to be compatible with an in-bed gooseneck hitch, so you will have no issues there.
You may also want the Curt Gooseneck Wiring Harness # C56071. This will allow you to add a 7-way connection to the bed of your truck if you don't have one already.
You will find our install and review videos for the gooseneck hitch linked below. Let me know if you have any other questions.
