Expert Reply:
Does your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 have a 6 inch lift or is it the 6 foot bed? I ask because Air Lift kit # AL88204 only fits short bed models so if your truck has the 8 foot bed you would need to look at other options.
Lift kits are interesting because you could have a 6 inch lift kit but the actual increase in height between the frame and axle might be less than 6 inches. This is important when picking out kits and available spacers. Air Lift's tallest spacer is 4 inches, # AL52440. Chances are that a 6 inch lift is going to increase the space between the frame and axle by more than 4 inches so I do recommend looking at other options.
Bed length is not a concern with Firestone kit # F2430. And there is a spacer option for 6 inches of increased distance between the frame and axle, # F2375. If the distance has increased, say, just 5 inches then there is an option for that as well, # F2373.
No matter which air spring system you go with I do recommend adding a compressor system such as # F2158. This will allow you to adjust the air springs from the comfort of the truck cab without the need of an external compressor. I have included some video links on the Firestone air springs and compressor system for you.
