Thanks for reaching out!

While we do have the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2299 that fit your 2013 Ram 2500, it sounds like you're looking at the Air Lift air bag kits because of the name and that the Firestone kits don't have the internal jounce bumpers.

When comparing the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers we have the kit # AL88295, as well as the kit # AL57595 which is the higher rated kit coming in at a 7,500 lb weight capacity. It does come at a higher price-point though so it really boils down to what capacity do you need or want.

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.…

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…
