Air Bag Helper Springs Recommendation for 2020 Ram 2500 5th Wheel Towing
Question:
I would like to add some air bag suspension to my 2020 Dodge Ram 2500 for when I'm towing my fifth wheel camper. It doesn't sag too much but I'd rather have my truck leveled out plus I'm pretty sure it will come in handy whenever I need to load up my truck bed for hauling.

We have just what you're looking for! I recommend the Firestone Ride-Tire Air Helper Springs because they have a double convoluted design for strength and a crimp rolled seal which performs better than other air bag kits and protects the air bags when the suspension on your 2020 Ram 2500 is put to the test.
For standard towing and hauling applications we have the Heavy Duty Kit # F2598 but if you are putting a constant load on your Ram then I recommend the Red Label # F2706. These kits are generally the same with the main difference being that the Red Label is just beefier (thicker air bags and hardware). It is worth noting that the Red Label won't fit if you have the factory air suspension system.
I also recommend adding a compressor kit to this setup as well because it gives you a way to monitor and adjust your air bags on the go. No need to carry a compressor and gauge, as well as planning your trips around the nearest air compressors. The Air Command # F96VV is a great option for you because it comes with a heavy duty compressor and a dual path so you can adjust your air bags independently of each other.
