Recommended Air Springs for 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500 with Factory Rail Kit
Updated 07/09/2018 | Published 07/05/2018
Question:
I have a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, Crew Cab 4 wheel drive, and am interested in purchasing some air bags to assist leveling out when pulling my fifth wheel. The truck has the fifth wheel hitch option and I have the Curt Q20 5th wheel trailer hitch w/R20 slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package. Do you have a set of air bags that you would recommend? Thanks

Expert Reply:
For your 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2709. These 7,500 pound springs are confirmed to fit your Silverado 2500 4WD Crew Cab and are compatible with an in-bed fifth-wheel hitch like what you have installed. The air bags will do a great job of keeping your truck level when hooked up to the trailer and they can be adjusted for a smooth ride for when you aren't towing as well.
I have attached an installation video on the 2016 model Silverado 2500 that you can use for reference. All of the needed brackets and hardware are included.
