Question:

I have a 2021 GMC sierra 2500 HD and I am looking to get an electronic airbag suspension to enhance the ride as well as to make towing easier. I tow a few times a year not very often. I did replace the suspension when I first got the truck with FOX shocks. Thanks for help

Expert Reply:

I recommend installing the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2613 on your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 because they have the best construction and are the most reliable brand of air bags on the market. This kit is rated for 5,000 lbs which doesn't increase the weight rating of your truck, but it does mean that your truck's suspension will get support with up to that much weight.

This kit is filled and adjusted manually but I also like to recommend adding a compressor system like the Air Command # F2610 which will be more than sufficient for your situation, and this is adjusted via a smartphone app so you don't have to deal with a gauge that's mounted in your truck cab.

I've attached some installation and review videos of these kits for you to check out!
