Question:
2024 sierra 1500 denali ultimate. Best option for air bags on rear and leveling kit on Front. I have a rough country level on front now and air bags on rear, not sure what brand, but the ride is definitely not the same. Or should I go back to factory?

Expert Reply:
With the Air Bags # F2609 on your 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate you are not going to be able to get the same smooth factory ride you had at stock. Typically a leveling kit like the Rough Country for your Denali only add a spacer to gain the front ride height and not change the suspension geometry or provide more support. If you are needing the rear air bags only for trailer towing then you might consider switching to a Weight Distribution Hitch # EQ37100ET. This will solve your issues with rear end sag while not affecting your stock ride quality when not towing.

I have around 7 trailers that I pull quite often. Not sure if that's what I want. I have been referred to the fs2483. Is this the 2609 in a kit? What is different about air bags compatible with ARC suspension and those that are not compatible?

So the rough country leveling kit and the air bags both effect my ride? I do construction so I do Haul equipment and material. How well with the Hitch help with that? Is there a leveling kit that I could get that would not change the ride?
