Fit of Firestone F2598 Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs on 2019 Ram 2500 With OEM Air Suspension

Question:

I see Chris recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite # F2560 helper bag for a 2019 ran 2500 that has factory air suspension. Is there really room for both factory and helper air bags?

The Firestone F2560 you referenced was replaced by the # F2615 which is a fit for a 2013-2021 Ram 3500 4x4, and wouldn't fit your 2500 model.

For your 2500 model, you'd want to use # F2598 which has been confirmed by Firestone as being compatible with the factory air suspension. This kit is a fit with most in-bed hitches as well. If you have an in-bed hitch, I'd recommend checking out the linked instructions and compare the bracket placement with that of the mounting brackets for your in-bed 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch to see if they're compatible.

You might also be interested in an on-board compressor kit, part # F2219. This heavy duty compressor kit allows you to add or remove air pressure from the system as needed from the comfort of the truck cab, even while you're rolling down the road.

I've linked to an install video that you might find helpful.
