The SoftStartRV Soft Start for RV AC Units # SSR54FR is not just a larger capacitor like the Start Capacitor for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners # ACMSCKIT. The SoftStartRV kit ties into both the run and start capacitors to allow the A/C to start up and run your 15,000 Btu AC on a 20-amp household hookup. It has an integrated bypass connector that prevents the unit from overheating and reduces the risk of the capacitor exploding and risk of fire. It is also IP65-rated against dust and water... view full answer...
You are correct, to install either the Hijacker or the Superglide, you will need to use a rail adapter, like # DM6099. This will add approximately 2 inches of height to your 5th wheel hitch. The 18K Demco Hijacker # DM8550034 offers a height adjustment of 15-1/4 to 18 inches (17-1/4 to 20 inches with adapter), whereas the Superglide is fixed at 18-1/2 inches (20-1/2 inches with adapter). With trucks getting taller and taller these days, you'll be glad you have the height adjustabilty to... view full answer...
The obvious difference is that the # C16521 uses a manually operated slider and the Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550034 uses an automatic sliding mechanism. The Curt offers 12 inches of rearward travel, while the Demco Hijacker Autoslide offers 14 inches. The Demco is height adjustable from 15-1/4 inches to 18 inches above the bed floor while the Curt can adjust from 17-1/2 to 21-1/2 inches in height.

You have one option for system that works with the Rhino-Rack T-Load Load Assist Bar # RTL002 on your 2017 Ram 2500. Your option is:
Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Single Crossbar System # RRVA150B, # RRRLKVAH, # DK043H
Compatibility. The regular cab can only hold ONE crossbar with the T-Load, while the crew cab has that extra space for TWO crossbars. The single crossbar plus T-Load combo can also be used on the crew cab, but most don't choose that option since they'd rather just use their two... view full answer...
If your 2015 Ram 2500 diesel has factory tow hooks then you can use the Draw-Tite front-mount hitch # 65063. This hitch fits both 2WD and 4WD trucks. If you have a 4WD truck and do not have factory tow hooks then instead use the Curt model # C31015. Both the Draw-Tite # 65063 and Curt # C31015 have a 500-lb vertical load limit (akin to tongue weight).
I linked install videos for both hitches, along with their written instructions, that you can review to see if one install is more appealing... view full answer...
The main difference between the PowertraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover part # RTT-90232 and the PowertraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover part # RTT-70232 which are both fits for your 2018 Ram 2500 Short Bed is that the PRO model has an aluminum construction and the ONE model has a polycarbonate construction. The aluminum construction will be a bit heavier than the polycarbonate but overall more durable. view full answer...
The yellow version and the blue version of the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit - Tandem Axle - Qty 2 # LC696740 are the same and won't have any differences aside from the color. The measurements and 3500-lbs to 8000-lbs capacity will remain the same. view full answer...

The Firestone Ride-Rite, part F2580, you've seen only fits the 4-wheel drive model of your 2014 Ram 2500 so it technically fits your truck. With that being said it has been discontinued because the kit we now carry, part # F2598, fits both the 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive trucks.
So the # F2598 will also fit your truck. view full answer...
For your 2016 RAM 2500 with tires sized 275/70-18 you can use the Titan Chain # TC3229CAM with twisted links and ladder design. The Twist-Link Snow Tire Chains are better for snow purposes than ice.
Square-Link Chains like part # TC3229S work better on ice than the twist-link chains. The Square-Links will work just as well in the snow too. Since they are both constructed of low-carbon steel, they will have about the same durability. If you are going to be using chains for a snow and... view full answer...
I prefer the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs, # AL57289 to the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, # TDR2500D simply due to its adjustability. The Timbren, # TDR2500D is a great suspension enhancement for the 2016 Ram 2500 but with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000, # AL57289 you can adjust from 5 to 100 psi providing front to back leveling based on load and you have option of adjusting independently for side-to-side leveling of off-center loads.

There are a few differences between the standard Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2598 and the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2706, which are the correct fits for a 2015 Ram 2500.
You mentioned one, which is the standard duty # F2598 has a 5,000 lb capacity and can accept up to 100 psi, while the Red Label # F2706 have a 7,500 lb capacity and are rated to accept up to 150 psi. But the other differences are that the Red Label air bags do NOT fit... view full answer...
There are a few things to consider when purchasing suspension enhancement for towing a fifth wheel trailer. The Bilstein shocks will certainly help, but it also does not hurt to add suspension enhancement like Timbren springs or Firestone air bags either. They will reduce sag, improve stability and prolong the life of your stock suspension.
Timbren and Firestone make excellent products. We use Timbren springs on our Ram 2500 when towing our fifth wheel trailer and they do an excellent... view full answer...
Both of the Air Lift Loadlifters, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle, part # AL57289, and the
Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle, part # AL57589, will fit your 2022 Ram 2500.
One of the differences between the two is the weight ratings are different for each option. One provides 5,000 lbs of leveling support and the other one provides 7,500 lbs of leveling support. The 7500 XL has a larger air volume, so they provide more support. You... view full answer...
I contacted Firestone about this issue and they were unable to tell me if these bags would work with Daystar cradles. They told me they had not tested them, had no affiliation with Daystar and had no information about if they could fit. view full answer...
The custom installation kit # RP56001-53 is easier to install than kit # RP50066-58, though either kit will fit your Dodge Ram. Installation is easier because the longer rails allow the below bed brackets to be installed on the outside of the frame rails where they are easier to reach. The rails in kit # RP50066-58 are approximately 44" long. The rails for kit # RP56001-53 are 48" long.
I have included installation instruction links for both kits for you to check out. view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite about the Hide-A-Goose hitches you asked about.
Part # 9464-35 is actually rated higher in Towing capacity at 30,000 lbs than the # 9464-57. The head on the 9464-57 is rated at 30,000 lbs but the lower capacity is due to the construction of the installation rails included. My contact said the 9464-35 is constructed of stronger steel.
The B and W Gooseneck, part # BWGNRK1313 is a great hitch as well. One note about the B and W is the shank on the ball... view full answer...
Sidewinder replacement pivoting 5th wheel pin boxes provide more clearance than all but a few sliding hitches, a full 22-inches. Most slider hitches range from 10- to 14-inches of slider travel. Unlike most sliders, Sidewinders do not require you to get out of your truck every time you need to make a tight turn. The slider hitches and install kits for your 2017 Ram 2500 with 6-1/2-foot bed (and without the factory rail kit) are shown on the linked page.

We don't carry the Pullrite Superglide hitches but there are a lot of people who really like them. We instead carry the somewhat similar Demco Hijacker Autoslide hitches which have a couple key advantages to the Pullrite hitches. One being they don't require custom capture plates for pin boxes as they have adjustable side plates that adjust to securely attach to the pin box. And also they are height adjustable unlike the Pullrite hitches which will help you to be able to level the trailer.... view full answer...
