Question:

Hi, Im looking for an air bag setup for my 2016 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali. I recently installed the GM part #19328693, specifically the brackets that bolt to the frame. What air bag kit can I use that will work with that setup?

Expert Reply:

We can help you with a rear axle air bag kit that will be compatible with your Sierra 2500's factory-installed gooseneck hitch prep kit 19328693.

The kit I recommend for your Sierra comes from Firestone, who actually makes the rubber air springs for their kits as well as those sold under other brand names. Kit # F2709 offers no-drill installation, full compatibility with your in-bed hitch package and it works for both 2WD and 4WD trucks. This is an extreme duty kit that uses commercial-grade rubber springs. It can handle higher psi pressures than standard-grade air bags and can level loads up to 7500-lbs. It is USA-made. Instructions are linked for you so you can see the process ahead of time.

To get the most out of this air bag system I suggest including a compressor system in your installation. Firestone's Air Command I Heavy-Duty Compressor # F2097 will allow you to control both bags' pressure from the comfort of the cab. This ability to adjust air pressure on the fly means you can more easily find the pressure sweet spot for your towing set-up to give you the nicest ride quality. An installation video is linked for you.
