Firestone Ride-Rite Kit Recommendation for a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 2WD Diesel With 11-1/2 Inch Axle

Question:

Ive a late 2007 2500 2WD with 6.7 cummins diesel and a 11 1/2inch axel. What kit is applicable for my truck? The 2500 diesel comes with the same axel as the 3500 but Im not sure if the chassis is the same.

The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F2299, that you referenced will work for your 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 2WD with the 11-1/2 inch axle. This kit was designed to fit both the 2500 and 3500 models. There are a few chassis differences between the two models, but none that will interfere with the installation of this Ride-Rite kit.

I have attached an installation video and the instruction for you to check out. If you plan on doing the installation yourself, I recommend getting a Tubing Cutter, # AL10530. One of the biggest problems with air bag systems is small air leaks. The leaks are often caused by poor connections and bad air line cuts. This tubing cutter will do a much better job that a typical utility knife.

Also, if you are interested in an onboard compressor kit, then I recommend the Level Command II - Dual-Gauge with Heavy-Duty Compressor, # F2219.
