Hi Chief Brown,
I have a 2020 RAM 3500 with factory air suspension also. Use to take a look of work getting hooked and un-hooked. Now it is not a problem, just follow the following steps and it is easy.
Unhook:
1) Don't mess with lowering or disabling Air Suspension.
2) Put down front feet until pin just starts to rise off of plate.
3) Now un-plug 5th wheel cord and break away cable, and stow in pin box.
4) Lower tailgate. (by this time the air bags will have dropped the truck and the 5th wheel is to high).
5) Lower pin so it is just touching hitch plate again.
6) Pull release handle on hitch and drive out slowly from pin box.
Hookup:
1) Set pin box at same level as hitch (maybe a 1/4" lower depending on hitch).
2) Back into pin box until latched (I like to put drive in drive and release the brake to make sure I am latch completely, then put in park).
3) Connect cable and break away cable, put tail gate up.
4) Retract all jacks.
