Question:
Hi Jon wondering if this kit will fit my 2022 Chevy 1500 Silverado z71 rst model diesel Doesn’t have the ride control that I see saying it won’t fit ? Does it need the 2 inch spacer kit that I see some people say it needs to fit

Hey Tony, thanks for reaching out!
The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2609 won't fit your 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 since it has the Diesel engine.
For your application I recommend checking out the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88288 which fits as long as you don't have the Adaptive Ride Control.
Air Lift doesn't have a note about needing to use a lift kit so you'll be good to go!

Hey Tony, how did the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 springs work out on your Silverado? It’d be great to hear if the fit was as smooth as expected without the spacer kit. Your update could make it easier for others with the diesel model to choose the right setup.
