Expert Answers about Ram 3500


  • 5th Wheel Base Rails & Brackets That Fit 2021 Ram 3500 With 8 Foot Long Bed
  • While we do have a base rail and bracket kit that fits your 2021 Ram 3500 with an 8 foot long bed, the parts you mentioned won't fit as they are for certain Ford trucks. So instead, the base rail and custom brackets that will fit your 2021 Ram 3500 are the following: - Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit with Base Rails # RP50085-58 I verified with the manufacturer, Reese, that these do in fact fit your 2021 Ram 3500, and are the best option because they do not require any drilling...

  • Does Dee Zee Tailgate Assist Fit 2021 Ram 3500
  • Yes it does! I verified with the manufacturer, Dee Zee, that the tailgate assist you mentioned is a fit for your 2021 Ram 3500 truck: - Dee Zee Tailgate Assist Custom Tailgate-Lowering System for Dodge Trucks # DZ43301 This tailgate assist is a custom fit for your '21 Ram 3500, and is really nice because it is going to make lowering your tailgate so much smoother and easier compared to how heavy and awkward it is to lower your tailgate without an assist.

  • Replacing Under the Bed Mounting Brackets in 2019 Ram 3500
  • When replacing the under the bed mounting brackets in your 2019 Ram 3500, we always recommend using the same brand as the base rails that you have. If you have B&W base rails already, the B&W Custom Mounting Brackets for Patriot 5th Wheel Above Bed Base Rails # BWRVR2605 could possibly fit. My recommendation would be to replace the base rails as well, that way you will ensure you have the correct mounting brackets for your bed rails. The bed rails that will fit the # BWRVR2605 are the...

  • Can Hydraulic Brake Kit AKFBBRK-35-D Mount With Hydraulic Connector on Side
  • Since the bolt hole pattern is square with the bolt holes equidistant, the Hydraulic Brake Kit - Uni-Servo - Free Backing - Dacromet - 10" - Left/Right Hand - 3,500 lbs # AKFBBRK-35-D can be mounted so that the hydraulic connector is on the side if you like as the flange won't interfere. In regards to the distance from hub face to flange with the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # 8-247-50UC3 and Brake Kit # AKFBBRK-35-D, without having...

  • For your 2012 Ram 3500 Long Bed 4x4, the brackets you need are Curt Custom, No-Drill Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit for Dodge Ram # C16420. This will work with the industry standard rails you referenced. Technically you shouldn't combine brands so I also recommend getting the complete rail kit # C16420-204.

  • Recommended Air Bag Suspension for a 2021 Ram 3500
  • The best air bag suspension system for your 2021 Ram 3500 is going to be the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs item # AL57531. These air springs have a 7,500 lbs capacity and will provide plenty of cushioning when you are towing your toy hauler. They fit both the 4WD and 2WD models of the Ram 3500. The air bags reduce the strain on your rear suspension, increase safety, and compensate for uneven loads. They level your truck from front to back and adjust independently for side-to-side...

  • Weight Capacity of the Curt Bolt on Universal Trailer Hitch
  • The Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs has a 350 lbs tongue weight capacity. You will have no problem carrying a bike rack and two 70 lbs e-bikes with this universal hitch. You will want to verify the camper or RV you are attaching is rated to have a hitch installed and carry this weight. For a great bike rack that is rated to be used behind all vehicles, campers, and motorhomes you will want the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item # S94FR. This bike rack has...

  • Do Curt 5th Wheel Base Rails Fit 2018 Ram 3500
  • Yes, the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails # C16204 will work with your 2018 Ram 3500. In order to use them you will also need a Curt 5th wheel bracket kit, the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit # CU96FR. You can also get the rails and brackets in a set: - Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ram # C16430-204 Both will fit your 2018 Ram 3500 and work with a Curt 20,000 lb 5th wheel hitch like the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140.

  • Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Ball for 2018 Ram 3500 With Factory Prep Package
  • We have exactly what you need, but the Replacement Hitch Ball for B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Hitches # BWGNXA2000 will not fit in the OEM prep package of your 2018 Ram 3500; it has a square base and is only designed to fit Turnoverball hitches. For your truck with the factory pucks and gooseneck, the correct gooseneck hitch ball is the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ram Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNXA2062. I have added a link to a video review of the hitch ball being...

  • Will the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Adapter Work With B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for OEM Prep
  • The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5G will work with the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit part # BWGNXA2062 since there is no level built into the hitch ball head.

  • Recommended Solid Tonneau Cover for 2020 Ram 3500 Short Bed to Use When Towing 5th Wheel Trailer
  • The Extang Solid Fold # EX83430 for your 2020 Ram 3500 does provide great security and I really like that it's got a lock that can key to your truck's ignition located at the front of the tonneau. You might find that you don't have any issues when turning with the 5th wheel attached but a lot of that will depend on the clearance of the trailer from the top of the bed rails. With that said, the good thing about the Solid Fold 2.0 is that you can easily remove the folded up panels and store...

  • Which Air Bags for 2021 Ram 3500 Cab and Chassis
  • I may have a solution for you to add airbags to your 2021 Ram 3500 Cab and Chassis, but AirLift does not make an air bag solution for this truck. You'll want to measure the distance from the outside of the frame to the inside of the tire and make sure it is at least 8", and as long as that is the case you can use the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2478. These Firestone bags are a confirmed fit on your 3500 cab and chassis with the diesel engine...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch For A 2022 Ram 3500
  • I always recommend either a sliding hitch or rotating pin box for any beds under 8' to help prevent the nose of your 5th wheel from coming into contact with the cab of your truck. Because of this I do not recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20,000lbs # BWRVK3710. Also, this particular hitch is designed for a Chevy/GMC puck system so it wouldn't be compatible with your 2022 Ram 3500. Instead I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th...

  • Correct Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for a 2020 Ram 3500 without Factory Prep Package
  • The correct Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for a 2020 Ram 3500 without Factory Prep Package is part # C16430-204. This kit offers a mostly bolt-on install with no drilling into the frame required. If you do have the Factory Prep Package however then you will instead need to use the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch part # C29BR. These kits will both provide a set of industry standard above bed rails which allow you to use a standard fifth wheel hitch like the Curt CrossWing...

  • Recommended Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch for the Ram Factory Puck System
  • I have a solution for you but the Blue Ox Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # BLU52XR does not offer any offset and would not give you enough clearance to make turns with your 6-1/2' bed. Since you have the Ram prep package with the in bed pucks I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVK3670. The Companion Slider has a 20,000 lbs capacity and will give you 12" of travel for making tight turns and backing. I have linked a review video and a picture...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2020 Ram 3500 Mega Cab 6-1/2 Foot Bed
  • I would be happy to help you set up your 2020 Ram 3500 short bed with a 5th wheel hitch. You are going to need a sliding hitch to make tight turns and back up. You have two options depending on whether or not your Ram has the towing prep package. The Companion 5th Wheel Hitches below are nearly identical except for their mounting methods. Both have a 20,000 lbs capacity and offer 12" of travel for clearance. The Companion has a dual jaw design that allows for less rattle and more security...
