Expert Reply:

The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2609 which is a fit for your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 comes with everything that you need for installation save for tools unless you have a Z71 or High Country package. If you do then you will also need the Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2366. There will be either a Z71 or High Country large badge on the passenger and driver fender if you have either of these packages.

The rest of the tools needed for the install process are very basic such as a socket set and open ended wrenches. If you plan to frequently inflate and deflate the airbags then you might also want to look into a air compressor kit, the Air Command Compressor System part # F2610 which is wireless so you don't have to run airlines or wires into the cab but this kit not required by any means.

My operations Director has a 2019 Chev 1500 4 x 4 with a Z71 Package . He wants to add a Air Ride System that when he is not using it . It will go back to Normal Ride. I was looking at F2581,F2609 x2 & F2366. Thank You

The Firestone Ride-Rite # F2609 for the rear axle along with the Spacer Kit # F2366 and Compressor System # F2581 is a perfect setup for the 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z71. An air bag kit will definitely allow the driver to maintain a stock height and smooth ride both when towing and riding empty.

For your 2019 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss I highly recommend the Firestone Air Bag Kit # F2609 along with the 2" Lift Spacers # F2366 to fill in the gap created by that factory lift.
