Question:
Will this kit fit a 2008 Dodge 3500 DRW Cab and Chassis?
asked by: Dave I
Expert Reply:
No, it will not Dave but I have a set that does! Since your 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 is the cab and chassis model you'll need the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2478. These air bags have a 5,000 lbs capacity that will level out the rear end of your Ram when you are towing a trailer or hauling a heavy load. All mounting brackets and hardware are included for installation.
I recommend adding the Firestone Air Command item # F2610 to your truck. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from your phone.
The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL57230, you asked about, only fit the 1500 models.
