I have another option for you but you are correct, the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57295 you were looking at is only confirmed to fit the the 2003-2013 Ram 2500 and select 2003-2018 Ram 3500's and will not fit your 2017 Ram 2500.

Instead I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57289 which are confirmed to fit your 2017 Ram 2500 and will still give you the same 5000lb load leveling capacity when towing a trailer or carrying a heavy payload.

To keep from having to manually inflate the air helper springs before towing or carrying a heavy payload I recommend adding an on-board 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 pressure in each helper spring from the comfort of your driver seat.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…
