Hey Joey, welcome back! For your 2021 Ram 3500 I recommend the Firestone air bag kit part # F2615. I really like the Firestone bags because they just are the highest quality around and you can't beat them. Do you think you'll also want a compressor as well? You can just inflate them with the valve that comes with them with a compressor at your house if you wanted to keep it budget friendly.

Hi Joey I have had a number of Ram trucks starting with an '01 and I pull a fairly heavy 3 horse slant trailer with LQ. I have used the standard Firestone air bags for many years and find them be very effective. I installed all of them myself and with the exception of those I just installed on my 2026 - 3500 there have been no installation problems. The top air fitting on that setup had was an angled fitting and it interfered with the top bracket. I called Firestone and they sent me new fittings (although Home Depot sold me what I needed the day I saw the problem). Firestone is great to work with so just call them if you have questions or problems. Make absolutely sure you get the right air bag kit for your truck. The hardest part of airbags is actually the air supply. On my first truck I just installed a very small compressor and a switch/gage (for pressure) that came as part of an air bag kit from Firestone (perhaps the best plan). The compressor worked fine for airbags (and lasted many years (>10) but was useless to add air to a tire or anything else. My next truck I got a much larger after market compressor from another company. Installation was tough but I got it done. Honestly it is no better for the air bags and it too is almost useless to add air to low tires. On the new truck I did not install a compressor and am using a small free standing 12V compressor (made to inflate RV tires).
