Expert Answers about Ram 2500


  • Replacement Hubs and Drums and Brakes for Lippert 6,000 Pound Trailer Axles
  • Since you have 6K Lippert axles with an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern for the wheels and hubs I assume that the inner bearing is 25580 and the outer is 14125A. It would be worth checking just to be sure. If you have regular axles with no grease fittings at each end then you can use # 8-219-4UC3. If you do have EZ Lube axles with the grease fittings use # 8-219-4UC3-EZ. For either hub and drum assembly you can use right hand side brake assembly # AKEBRK-7R-SA and left hand side # AKEBRK-7L-SA.

  • Recommended Air Helper Springs for 2016 Ram 2500 Towing Heavy 5th Wheel Trailer
  • The Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2706 referenced in your question are confirmed to fit your 2016 Ram 2500. These heavy duty air springs feature a 7,500 pound capacity, but they will not actually increase the payload capacity of your truck. This is really the case with any aftermarket suspension enhancement system. What this system will do, however, is equip your Ram to better handle weights within its capacity. This means that the Firestone air springs...

  • Front Hitch for 2021 Ram 2500 to Carry Thule Goalpost or Yakima LongArm
  • The front hitch I would recommend for your 2021 Ram 2500 is the EcoHitch part # EH37FR because it sits up the highest and is the least recessed for clearance when using the Yakima LongArm # Y01149-1150 or the Thule Goalpost # TH997. Both of these would easily stick out far enough to clear the front bumper of your truck.

  • Best Suspension Enhancement For 2021 Ram 2500 For Towing & Keeping Factory Ride
  • We can help you out here, and since your goal is to keep the factory ride of your 2021 Ram 2500, the best option is definitely going to be air bags. Bump stop replacements like Timbrens and SumoSprings can still affect the ride, particularly on bumps, but air bags can be deflated to the minimum 5 psi so your factory ride will remain. When you are towing, air bags will help level out your truck as it squats and take on the hitch weight of your 5th wheel, preventing you from bottoming out....

  • 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch and Install Kit for a 2014 Ram 2500
  • I checked the owners manual for the 2014 Ram 2500 and it lists the capacity of the truck at 25,000 pounds for a 5th wheel trailer so the truck can handle your trailer easily. You can double check your owners manual to confirm. For a custom fit installation kit I recommend Curt kit # C16427-204. The Curt kit costs less than other custom kits and it will accept any hitch that fits in industry standard above the bed rails, including Reese hitch # RP30928 which is an excellent option if you...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch And Rails For 2016 Ram 2500 Mega Cab With Rambox
  • On your 2016 Ram 2500 Mega Cab with Rambox, you are correct that there are not underbed rail options compatible with your Rambox. You will need to use an above bed rail kit, but we do have kits that are custom fit for your truck. I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50054-58 that will give you custom brackets so you will use holes already in your frame for mounting. I've attached a video of this installation. For...

  • Compatibility of Sidewinder Pin Box & Curt A16 Fixed 5th Wheel Hitch
  • The Curt A16 5th wheel fixed hitch and install kit for the Ram trucks with factory prep, part # C16520-16021, is a good hitch for your Ram 2600, but it won't work for your application since you intend to use a Sidewinder replacement pin box on your Arctic Fox 5th wheel. You'll need a hitch that is compatible with Sidewinders (the Curt A-series are not). I recommend the Reese M5, part # RP30918. The combination of a fixed hitch with Sidewinder # RP61412 will give you 22-inches of additional...

  • How to Determine Fifth Wheel Hitch Height Setting Needed
  • You will want the hitch to be set at the height that 1) allows the trailer to be level, and 2) allows you a minimum of 6 inches between the bottom of the trailer loft and the top of the bed rails. The fifth wheel hitches offer several inches of up and down adjustment to help accomplish this. Many pin boxes are also height adjustable. To do this you will want to measure from the top of your truck bed floor to the ground and then measure from the plate of the pin box on the trailer down...

  • 24 inch Hitch Extender for 2019 Ram 2500 to Tow 8k Trailer
  • The extender you'd need is the Torklift SuperTruss part # TLE1524 which can provide up to 24 inches of extension but you are going to need two additional things to use this and be safe. First thing is a Torklift hitch since this only fits their dual hitch design and also a weight distribution system since this is only way to get the full capacity you need due to your trailer weighing 8,000 lbs. The Torklift Hitch you need is the part # TLD1112-30 which fits your 2019 Ram 2500 and then...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2016 Ram 2500 To Use Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier
  • In order to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier part # TH898 on a 2016 Ram 2500 I recommend using the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar System which is composed of part # TH711520, part # TH710501, and part # TH145106. This will be a perfect pairing for the Hullavator and provide a really nice, sleek bar design. This will be all that is needed.

  • Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Ram 2500 Short Bed
  • The B and W Gooseneck hitch part # BWGNRK1384 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Ram 2500 and would work well as many consider the B and W hitches the best on the market. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well. For a 7-way to install in the bed of your truck to make connecting your trailer lights easier you would want the part # 41157. Most 7-ways will be at the rear of the truck near the bumper which doesn't work will with fifth wheel...

  • Recommended Air Ride Suspension Kit for 2014 Ram 2500 4WD
  • The AirLift # AL57289 LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs would work well for your 2014 Ram 2500 with the coil spring suspension. The suspension can be adjusted by adding or removing air as needed, from 5 - 100 psi. the kit has a 5000 lb capacity, but keep in mind it won't increase the weight bearing capacity of the vehicle in any way.

  • 2016 RAM 2500 Brake Controller Recommendation to Bypass Factory Controller
  • Yes if you installed the Prodigy P3 brake controller part # 90195 in your 2016 Ram 3500 it would totally bypass the integrated one you have. You will need the install harness part # 3024-P as well. To install an aftermarket brake controller on a 2016 Dodge Ram that has the factory integrated controller you will have to disconnect the ITBM (Integrated Trailer Brake Module). Doing so will turn on a warning lamp on the instrument cluster. In order to disconnect the ITBM and not get the warning...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement For A 2017 Ram 2500 4x4
  • If you're looking for the most "bang for your buck" then you'd be better suited installing air springs like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57289. These air springs have a 5,000lb capacity and 5 psi - 100 psi adjustability to fit a multitude of uses. If you'd like an on-board compressor to be able to adjust the psi of your airbags while on the go then I recommend the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System for Air Helper Springs- Heavy Duty - Dual Path...

  • Front Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Ram 2500
  • For your 2015 Ram 2500 4WD the Curt front hitch part # C31015 is a confirmed fit and will work well. It has a vertical load limit of 500 lbs which would be adequate for the weight of your 325 lb motorcycle and carrier like the etrailer motorcycle carrier part # e98873. You might want to install front suspension enhancement on your truck like the Firestone kit part # F4193 to help provide more support when carrying the motorcycle.

  • 7-Way Trailer Wiring Harness to Install in Bed of 2017 Ram 2500
  • For a 7-way to install in the bed of your truck up near the front you'd want the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness with 7-Pole Plug # 41157 which is as confirmed fit and would work well. We had the chance to install this in a 2017 Ram 2500 just like yours as well. See install video below.
