Hey Adam, welcome back! Since your 1997 Ram 3500 has the B&W Turnoverball item # BWGNRK1394 installed, you'll need the Pacbrake Alpha HD Air Bag Suspension Kit item # PB82FV. This set of air bags has a 5,000 lbs support capacity, which is the highest rated option that's going to work with your gooseneck hitch.
The Pacbrake Alpha HD item # PB82FV comes with custom fit brackets and all necessary hardware and air lines needed to get these air bags installed on your truck.
I recommend adding the Pacbrake Basic In-Cab Air Control Kit w/ Analog Gauge item # PB74VV to your truck. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust and monitor the PSI in your air bags from the cab of your truck.
What kind of trailer are you pulling?
