Question:
Looking at air bags for my truck, one says not compatible with in bed hitch, is that talking about a puck system or not talking about a puck system

Expert Reply:
Hey Robert congrats on the new truck! In bed hitch includes the puck system as well when it comes to fitment of the air bag kit brackets. For your 2026 Ram 3500 with the factory puck system, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs item # AL57531. This kit is compatible with both the 2WD and 4WD models, along with duallys.
The Air Lift item # AL57531 have a have a 7,500 lbs capacity that will level out the rear end of your Ram when you are towing your trailer or hauling a heavy load in the bed. This kit includes all of the custom fit mounting brackets, air lings, and hardware you'll need to complete the installation. There will be no drilling required to install these brackets.
I have linked an installation video below along with a couple of pictures.
I recommend adding the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System item # AL74000EZ to your truck. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags individually from your phone or the included remote.
What kind of trailer are you pulling?
