Will Adding Air Bags Increase Towing Capacity of 2019 Ram 2500
Updated 09/26/2025 | Published 04/19/2025
Question:
I have a 2019 Power Wagon and want to get a 5th wheel toy hauler but my tow capacity is 10,500lbs. I have been told if I install Aug bags I will be good to tow higher weights. So I am looking at the 5000 and 7500 bags for my truck which would be better in my situation?

Hi Dan; I hate to be the bearer of bad news but whoever told you that is 100% wrong. Adding air bags like the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL # AL57589 will help support heavy loads but they do not increase your towing capacity. Unfortunately, the only way to get a higher towing capacity is to get a different truck.
