For your 2020 Ram 1500 Classic I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Springs w/ Internal Bumpers # AL88365 as it uses the internal jounce bumper that allows you to stay on the road should an air bag fail.

The # AL57365 uses zinc plate roll plates, standard mounting hardware, and nylon air lines which are more prone to corrosion.

To keep from needing to manual air up the air helper springs when you are ready to tow I recommend using an onboard air compressor like the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System for Air Helper Springs- Heavy Duty - Dual Path # AL25856 which will allow you to adjust the air helper springs from the comfort of your trucks cab.
