I spoke with my contact at Timbren, and he said that the Timbren suspension can work with the Firestone air springs as long as there is room to mount the rubber springs above the rear axle. The Timbren rubber springs will replace the axle bump stops on the vehicles frame. As long as you still have the bump stops on your 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, you will be able to use the Timbren Vehicle Suspension, part # TGMRCK25S. If the bump stops have been removed then the Timbren suspension will not work.

I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Timbren suspension. It will show where the Timbren springs would be located on your vehicle.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
