Since you're pulling a toy hauler, the best air bags for your 2018 Ram 2500 are going to be the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs item # AL57289 you were looking at. This system has a 5,000 lbs capacity that will keep your truck level when you are towing your toy hauler or hauling a heavy load. Unlike all of the Firestone options these air bags are compatible with in bed hitches.
You're also going to need a set of lift spacers to accommodate the extra space between your frame and axle. Which one you need is going to be determined by how big of a lift you actually have in the rear. If it is a true 4" lift in the rear you will want the Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers for 4" Lift - Qty 2 item # AL52440. If your lift is less than 4" in the rear you'll want to go with the Spacers for 2" Lift - Qty 2 item # AL52420.
I recommend adding the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System item # AL25980. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from your phone.
