Is Firestone Ride Rite part # F2158 Compatible with Daystar Air Bag Cradle on 2012 1500 Silverado

Question

Question:

I have a 2012 Silverado 1500 with Firestone Ride Rite F2430 and Level Command II F2158. My truck has a 2.5inch leveling kit and has Daystar Air bag Cradles under the bags. Will these work with the cradles if I move up to a 5inch suspension lift?

Helpful Expert Reply:

I spoke to my contact at Daystar and he informed me that you can install your 5 inch lift on your 2012 Chevy 1500 Silverado and the air bag cradle would work just fine with your Firestone Ride Rite kit part # F2430 without needing any type of spacer.
