Helpful Expert Reply:

Firestone does not put jounce bumpers in their air springs like Air Lift, but to answer your other question directly you don't have to go with air springs for suspension enhancement but for your 2017 Ram 2500 it would be the best way to give you the support you want and allow you to tailor your ride quality to balance support and smoothness.

So for that the Firestone kit part # F2598 that you referenced would be your best option.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
