Question:

I have a 2020 Chevy Silverado Z 71 RST with the off-road package. There is a lift and I bought it this way. I would like to put the Load lift 5000 airbags on because I tow a heavy camper. I have an 11 inch space between the bottom of the frame where the top of the airbag would mount to the top of the axle where the bottom of the airbag would mount. What size spacer would I need? 2 inch 4“ or 6 inch to take up the gap and put the bags on safely thanks for all your input and help.

Hi Dave; thank you for providing that measurement. To install the # AL88288 on your 2020 Silverado 1500 Z71 RST you will need the 6" spacer # AL52460 to fill the rest of the gap. I also recommend adding an air compressor like the Air Lift WirelessONE # AL25980EZ so you can adjust the pressure in the air bags no matter where you go from the cab of your truck. This is a single path system so it will adjust the pressure equally between the two air springs.
