Air Bag Kit, Compressor and Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2019 Ram 2500 Short Bed

Question

Question:

Hello I have a 2019 ram 2500 6.7L mega cab with the 6 1/2 bed with no gooseneck or fifth wheel prep. My truck has a zone 6.5” lift kit. I’m interested in putting the items listed below you guys offer Airlift 5000 -AL88289 Airlift compressor AL74000EZ CURT FIFTH WHEEL PACKAGE -C16546 Curt Ram custom fifth wheel rails - C16427-204 Airlift 6” spacers AL52460 My question is the compatibility of those products. I used the website and plugged in my truck information and it says they are all good to fit my truck but the airlift does seem to have some comparability issues with fifth wheels. Is the fifth wheel I ed compatible with that airlift system and lastly my trucks rear bump stops currently have a spacer due to the lift kit what I’m trying to figure out is if the airlift can mount to the spacer already installed or I need to purchase the airlift spacers and if I need the airlift spacers how do I know what size to get 2”,4”6” my truck has the 6.5” lift but the current spacer does not look anywhere near 6”. I have pictures I can attach any help would be appreciated thank you

All of the components you mentioned are compatible with each other and fit your 2019 Ram 2500. The Air Lift kit part # AL88289 is a fit for your 2019 Ram 2500 and is compatible with in-bed hitches like with the rail kit part # C164207-204 and hitch # C16546. As well as the compressor kit part # AL74000EZ and spacer kit part # AL52460.

We can't verify if the spacer you have now would work with the Air Lift so I would have to recommend you remove it and use the Air Lift Spacer.
