Best Airbag Kit for a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
Question:
Can you give me choices on rear air bags for a 2016 Silverado 2500hd. I do have a fifth wheel hitch with mounts on the outside of frame rails. Looking to reduce slight sag in rear of truck. Hitch weight is approx 2300#. I’m not interested in the compressor, just simple set up. I’d like to install myself. Thanks for any help.

Helpful Expert Reply:
I have attached a list of all the airbag kits that will fit a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD. However, not all of them will work with 5th wheel brackets. The best set we have that will are the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2709. This kit will provide you with the extra support you need to keep your truck from sagging. They will also help to improve steering, reduce suspension wear, and improve stability.
As you can see in the attached install video, the process is fairly easy with only minor tools and a bit of mechanical aptitude needed for installation.
