Expert Answers about Ram 5500


  • 30K Gooseneck Ball Assembly For Flat Bed Fabrication
  • A bolt on kit is not available for flat bed use, but a straight-forward solution is a hitch for installation between the rails. You could use the Buyers Product # 3375613500, 2-5/16" Fabricators Flatbed Gooseneck Hitch or the B&W # BWGNRK1500, each offering towing capacities of 30K pounds when properly installed. The B&W offers a limited lifetime warranty. I have a attached a couple videos to help you decide.

  • Running Board Options For A 2023 Ram 5500 Regular Cab
  • I do have a potential solution for you, but the DeeZee Rough Step Running Boards # DZ15300S will not fit a 2023 Ram 5500 regular cab. We actually do not carry any kind of full length running board for a 2023 Ram 5500. The only option for a step will be the Carr Nerf Bars # CARR107442 which is a silver hoop step. I have linked our review video below if you want to take a look.

  • Best Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Ram 5500 Towing Car Hauler
  • Since most likely you have a flat bed installed on your 2019 Ram 5500 the best fifth wheel hitch is going to be the Reese Low Profile part # RP30054 as this is designed for flat beds that sit up a bit higher and has a higher weight capacity at 30,000 lbs. Installation of this hitch requires it to be installed directly through a 1/2 inch steel plate under the deck. The plate must be welded to brackets that are bolted to the truck frame and should be done by a qualified professional. I...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a Tandem Axle Gooseneck Trailer
  • I do have an airbag kit that will work for you in the Lippert Components Center Point part # LC1565391 but nothing that is going to replace the leaf spring. Instead, I recommend taking a look at either the E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System or the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers. They will replace the equalizers you have with a set of cushioned ones that will do an excellent job of minimizing road shock and helping to smooth out the ride. In order to recommend the correct set...

  • Air Suspension Enhancement That Fits 2019 Ram 3500 and 5500

That said, we don't offer an air suspension system replacement to convert the vehicles to air ride if that's what you were referencing. Then for the 2019 3500 Ram we have the Air Lift kit part # AL88231 as a confirmed...

  • Air Lift or Firestone Air Bag Kit for 2020 Ram 5500
  • Both Firestone and Air Lift stand behind their products well but I'd say the quality edge does go to Firestone. The rubber is made from a heavier duty material and the way the rubber attaches to the plates is better as well so you'd want the part # F2404.

  • Is The Tekonsha T-One # 118384 Compatible With The Brake Controller 9030A?
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118384 would not be compatible with the Tekonsha Brake controller you mentioned. The 118384 is a 4 flat wiring harness for trailer brake lights, tail lights and turn signals. So it does not include any kind of brake function. You would need to have a 7-way plug installed on your vehicle in order to use a brake controller. If you have a 7 way plug installed from the factory your can use part # 7894 to wire in your brake controller.

  • Suspension Enhancement for Front and Rear of 2020 Dynamax Isata 5 Super C Motorhome
  • For your 2020 Dynamax Isata 5 I recommend using the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TDF5500. This system will better serve your suspension as the majority of your added weight is over the rear axle. The # TDF5500HD is more designed for your severe service vehicles like tow trucks and vehicles that will have large plows mounted on them. For the rear I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR5500. This will offer you more stability at 12,000lbs versus...
