Recommended Air Bags for a 2018 Ram 2500 w/ a B&W Hitch
Question:
I have a 2018 Ram 2500 4 wheel drive with short bed. I have a BandW Turn over ball hitch in the bed. Looking for the best air bags for this setup.

Expert Reply:
Since your 2018 Ram 2500 has the B&W Turnoverball System item # BWGNRK1384, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate Air Helper Springs item # AL57589. These air bags have a 7,500 lbs capacity and come with custom fit brackets to make installation easier. These brackets are compatible with in-bed hitches and do not require drilling like the Firestone item # F2706 kit you were looking at.
We installed these on a 2018 Ram 2500 awhile back and I have included the video below so you can see how to get these air bags set up.
I also recommend adding the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System item # AL74000EZ to your truck. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from your phone.
