What has likely happened is the headlights on your Ram are most likely aimed down lower due to the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL57589 returning your rear ride height back to stock or even raising it above the factory height. Depending on the age of your Ram the springs on both the front and rear will naturally sag over time and with the installation of the Air Springs this would raise the rear back up when they carry air pressure in the springs.

You can always have your headlights readjusted to the correct height.
