Question:

Im looking at getting the Firestone Ride-Rite airbag helpers for my 2012 Silverado 1500 4x4 truck. The truck has a 4 inch ready lift SST lift system. The front has 4 inch strut spacers and the rear has 3 inch leveling blocks. The truck came from GM with 1.25 inch level blocks. So the truck is now sitting 1.75 inches higher than factory. What Firestone system would you recommend and does it need spacers for the air bags? I took a measurements of the truck from the top of the axel to the top of the factory bump stop/frame and its 7 1/4 inches. Thanks you for your help.

It looks like you have lift kit 69-3485 installed in your 2012 Silverado 1500 4x4. My technical contact at Firestone determined, based on your 7-1/4-inch distance from the top of your axle to the top of your bump stop, that you will need spacer # F2536 to install their Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2430.
