Question:

Expert Reply:
Air bags like the # AL88250 are designed to fit a suspension at stock height. These and similar air bags will not fit on your lowered 2006 Silverado 1500HD. The best way to get extra support on your truck would be to install the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-211-47. However, they may engage too quickly or immediately with the lowering shackles so you might have to trim the bottom to get the ideal 1/2" gap between the SumoSprings and the point of contact.
