Hello Bob.
For your 2018 Ram 2500 Short bed I recommend SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - 2 Piece - Rear Axle # SS27GR. Out of all the options that we have this will hands down give you the smoothest ride. The 2-Piece bracket design is intended to help give the smoothest ride possible when the truck is unloaded or on rough roads.
If you are unhappy with the ride quality when unloaded with the air bags, then you are going to feel the same if you were to go with the Timbrens.

Hey Bob, how did the SumoSprings work out on your Ram 2500 when towing your fifth wheel? It’d be great to hear if the ride felt smoother when unloaded. Your update could make it easier for others deciding between air bags and helper springs.
