Yes, they do! The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2430 have been confirmed to fit the 2016 GMC Sierra 1500. These have a 4,800 lbs load leveling capacity and attach to your truck with custom fit brackets. This minimizes the installation time and requires no drilling.

I have linked an installation video below to help you get these air bags set up.

I also recommend adding the Firestone Air Command item # F2610 to your truck. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from your phone.

Yes, the Firestone mount part #F2497 will fit the compressor of the Air Lift kit part #AL25572. The tank mount kit part #F2496 would then also be compatible with the tanks of the Air Lift kit. You'd want to have it on the passenger side so that…
