Question:

I have a 1995 Chevy K2500 Silverado with a 6inch lift. can these air springs still be installed?

Expert Reply:

Yes. You can use the AirLift Load Lifter 5000 # AL88216 air springs on your 1995 Chevy C/K Series Pickup with a 6" lift, but you will need to use an additional spacer like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 and LoadLifter 7500XL 6" Air Spring Level Spacers # AL52460. If you wanted to add a wireless compressor and leveling system, you'll want to use the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Hand-Held Remote - Single Path # AL25980.

Another good option you can also use are the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2025 with 6" spacers # F2374. You can use the Firestone Air Command II # F2219 to allow you to manually control the air pressure for each bag from the comfort of the cab of your truck.

I've attached some installation videos on these items that you may find useful, as well.
