Recommended Gooseneck Hitch and Compatible Air Bags for 2013 Ram 2500
Question:
I have a 2013 Ram 2500 6.7. I am shopping for a gooseneck hitch and air bag set up. I am wondering what gooseneck hitch will work with what air bag system. I am looking at bags that have a capacity of 7500 pounds.

We've got just what you're looking for. To start, I recommend using the Firestone Ride Rite Red Label # F2701 air bags, which have the 7500-lbs capacity you're seeking. Keep in mind, these won't increase the payload capacity of your truck, but will provide support for up to 7500-lbs of pin weight/payload. These air bags are compatible with in bed hitches, like the gooseneck system you're also looking for so they're a great choice. I do recommend also getting a compressor system like the Firestone Air Command II - Analog Gauge w/ Heavy Duty Compressor - Dual Function - 150 psi # F2219 to make airing the bags up more convenient. This system comes with easy to read analog gauges and allows you to customize the air pressure in the bag from the comfort of your truck.
For the gooseneck hitch, I recommend using the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # BWGNRK1313, which is a custom fit for your 2013 Ram 2500 and one of our most popular and well reviewed gooseneck hitches. The Turnoverball is made in the USA and you can store the ball in the hitch by turning it upside down and putting it back in the gooseneck hole. This allows you to have a completely clear truck bed when you're not towing, so you won't have any issues loading up the bed when you're not towing.
I've linked some review and installation videos of these parts for you to check out.
