The correct Firestone rear air bag kit for your 2019 Ram 2500 4WD is either part # F2598 for standard duty (up to 5,000 pounds load-leveling support) or part # F2706 for the higher capacity Red Label model that features a 7,500 pound load-leveling capacity.
I checked with Firestone and they show the same two kits for this particular truck. I wonder if the kit numbers they use on their site (which are W217602598 and W217602706 respectively) might be adding some confusion. These numbers refer to the above-mentioned air bag kits on our site, but are simply a different code that Firestone uses to organize their products.
Air Lift does also offer a 5,000 pound system with part # AL57289 or a higher 7,500 pound system with part # AL57589 for your Ram 2500.
Between the two brands though I do recommend the Firestone kits because of their unique double-convoluted design that essentially creates 4 layers of support when under load for increased durability and a longer lifespan. I have attached a couple installation videos below that you can also check out.
Lastly, I do recommend adding a heavy-duty compressor system like the Firestone Air Command # F2097 to your setup. This will allow you to adjust the bags from the comfort of your cab without having to stop at a service station or use what you have in the garage.
