I do have a solution, but unfortunately there are no air bags for the 1998 Dodge 2500 that are compatible with an in bed hitch. Assuming you do not have factory top overload springs, the best option for suspension enhancement is the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit - Heavy Duty # RAS3614-HD.

The RAS kit converts your factory leaf springs into a mechanically active suspension system. It will eliminate axle wrap, wheel hop, and bottoming out. It also keeps you level and reduces sway. The RAS tension automatically adjusts based on the load in your truck and disengages when unloaded. This will help extend the life of your suspension as well as your tires.

The # RAS3614-HD has a weight capacity of 3,000 lbs and comes with a 5-year warranty. This features a bolt-on installation and is made in the USA.

I have attached a review video for your reference.

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
