  • We have air bag style suspension enhancement that fits your 2019 Ram 5500 with the part # F2404 which will work really well to provide additional support to the factory suspension as needed since you can adjust the air pressure in the bags to increase or decrease support.

  • Availability of TorkLift Custom Trailer Hitch for 2017 Ram 5500
  • We do have a selection of trailer hitches available that are designed for your 2017 Ram 5500 as long as the frame of your truck measures 34 inches wide (outside to outside), however I checked with TorkLift and they do not currently have a hitch that is confirmed to fit your Ram 5500.

  • Tire Pressure Monitoring System With Bluetooth For Long Gooseneck Trailer
  • There is one tire pressure monitoring system I really like over the rest, which is from TireMinder; the reason I like this system is because it is easy to use, compatible with Bluetooth, and best of all, highly accurate, with a margin of error of just 3 percent, So for example, since you have a mighty big gooseneck trailer, let's say your tires are inflated to 130 psi; if you inflated them fully, this system will be accurate within 3 or so psi, which is very precise for these types of systems. Since...

  • Troubleshooting Integrated Brake Controller of 2015 Ram 5500 Not Working Well with EOH Brakes
  • Integrated factory brake controller notoriously don't work well with electric over hydraulic actuators. If you let me know what brand of actuator you have I can see if there's an adapter that would work with it or you could always go to an aftermarket controller like the P2 # 90885 which will work very well with the actuator.

  • Gooseneck Hitch Option For 2022 Ram 5500 Cab & Chassis
  • While there are a couple option for a gooseneck hitch that can work for your 2022 Ram 5500 cab and chassis, the Curt gooseneck is a custom fit for the pick-ups, and there isn't a way it can be made to fit the cab and chassis.

  • What Does B and W Continuum Weight Distribution # BW78FR Weigh
  • The B and W Continuum # BW78FR weights 110 lbs but this does not count against the tongue weight capacity of your hitch. B and W states that this essentially becomes a part of the vehicle hitch so it's additional weight does not need to get factored.

  • Class V Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Ram 5500 Cab and Chassis
  • The Super Titan hitch, # 38208, is designed for C channel style frames approximately 34 to 34-1/2 inches wide. This is measured from outside to outside of the frame rails. This is the common frame size for cab and chassis trucks so in that regard it would fit your 2016 Ram 5500.

The only thing your customer could do is have a metal worker fabricate a metal plate, bracing and gussets (or if the cab and chassis has a flat bed) and install the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks # BWGNRK1500 to mount the B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3050.

  • Replacement Hardwire Brake Controller Adapter For Prodigy P3
  • You'll need to hardwire the Prodigy P3, which means the correct adapter is the Replacement Brake Control Harness # 20127. If you do not have a factory brake controller on your Ram you will not need to have it flashed; if you are replacing the factory brake controller there is a good chance you will (this is not a one size fits all answer which is why I can't give you a definitive yes).

  • Recommended Sway Control When Towing a Travel Trailer Without a Weight Distribution Hitch
  • I do find that the electric Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control # 335TSC-1000 to be the best route as once it is installed it is the easiest to use. It will not be as difficult to install since the main unit is mounted 5-10' behind the ball mount and you will be able to fish the wiring through the underbelly. For mechanical the Shocker Hitch HD Air 2-Ball Mount w/ Sway Control Tabs # SHK45VR will likely be the type of ball mount you need as it has dual sway control connections and up to a 3-1/2"...
