Hi Martin,
For a 2024 Ram 3500 Dually without the factory air suspension system, the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bags w/Easy Mount Compressor part # F47XV would be a great choice! Based off the weight of your fifth wheel and pin weight, using the Firestone air bags rated for 5K would work just fine for your set up. The 7.5K air bags we usually recommend for really heavy-duty towing and would be a bit overkill for how much you're towing.
The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bags w/Easy Mount Compressor part # F47XV won't require any drilling to install, and the built-in wireless compressor will allow you to adjust the pressure in the air bags from your phone, so you never even have to get out of your truck! All the components are plated, coated, or brass in order to protect the system from corrosion from season to season and the air bags are reinforced to hold pressure under changing loads.
Do you carry anything in the bed when you're towing your fifth wheel?
