Question:
What Air Bags will work on my 2003 Chevy Duramax Diesel with my B@W Gooseneck Hitch
asked by: Charlie
Helpful Expert Reply:
Since your 2003 Chevrolet Silverado has the Duramax Diesel engine meaning it is either a 2500HD or 3500HD, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88275 which is confirmed to fit your truck, and is compatible with the B&W Gooseneck Hitch you have installed in your truck.
The # AL88275 has a 5000lb capacity to ease the wear on the rear suspension on your Silverado, and will help level your truck when towing a heavy load which will put weight back on your front axle for increased steering and braking performance. The internal jounce bumpers will also protect the air bags should the be below the minimum air pressure rating of 5 PSI, and will engage at lower air pressure to absorb road shock, and prevent bottoming out.
To control the # AL88275 with out having to manually fill the air bags, a compressor system like the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL25856 is a great choice that lets you control the air pressure with the touch of a button.
I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
