Thanks for the picture! I will be happy to find the correct spacer for you but let me start by confirming that the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2299 you were looking at are confirmed to fit your 2003 Dodge Ram 2500.

Since your truck has a 3" lift you will need the the Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2368.

I recommend adding the Firestone Air Command II item # F2219 onboard compressor system. This dual path compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air springs individually from the comfort of your cab.

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…
