Question:
Trying to decide between these firestone and air lift bags for my 2024 Sierra 3500. Which would be the better choice?
asked by: Samantha
Expert Reply:
The best choice for your 2024 Sierra 3500 is the Firestone # F2709. Although the Firestone and the Air Lift # AL57541 have the same 7,500 lb load-leveling capacity the Firestone construction is by far superior.
The Firestone air bags use four layers of reinforced rubber while the Air Lift only has 2-ply rubber. Firestone also has corrosion-resistant metal end plates that use the rolled crimp seal to keep them anchored. This means you can rely on the air bags without worrying about potential for failure.
I also recommend adding an air compressor like the Firestone Air Command I # F2097. This will allow you to adjust the air pressure from the cab of your truck no matter where you go. This is a single path system so the pressure will be adjusted equally between the two air bags.
