I spoke with my contact at Firestone and he confirmed the Firestone R4 Tech Hybrid Air-Over-Leaf Rear Suspension is not a fit for your 2014 Ram 3500 pickup. He also confirmed that the part has been discontinued.
We do, however, have Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs that are a confirmed fit for your vehicle. These springs will reduce strain on your rear axle, keep your vehicle level, and will adjust to load sizes for a consistently smooth ride.
For 2WD use # F2616
and for 4WD use # F2615
A few other components that you may be interested in are a Tubing Cutter, # AL10530, if you plan on doing the installation yourself and the Firestone Level Command II Dual-Gauge with Heavy-Duty Compressor, # F2219. This will allow you to adjust the air pressure from inside your cab. I have included a FAQ article which discusses the basics of Firestone Air-Spring Kits.
For a helper leaf spring I recommend a SuperSprings kit like # SSA24 for 5,000 pound capacity or # SSA23 for 4,000 pounds capacity, as long as your truck has overload springs (which as a 3500HD it should, contact dealer to confirm). I have included the installation details for these SuperSprings for you to check out.
