What Airbags Will Work with 5th Wheel Brackets on a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Question:

I have a 2014 crew cab 1500 Silverado. I added air springs to the back to tow a bumper pull camper. However I have bought a fifth wheel trailer and looking to install the hitch. Im concerned about the bracket on the air springs interfering with the kit. Will this work? Pictures attached Thanks

The concerns you have are valid as the airbag kit you have now will not work with the frame brackets for a 5th wheel hitch. If you wanted to install a 5th wheel hitch on your truck and still use airbags you would need to use the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57204 instead as they mount on the bottom of the frame rail and will allow for use with the frame brackets for a 5th wheel hitch.

I have attached an install video of the above airbags for you as well.
