Hello Matthew,
The # AL57595 you were looking at is for the Ram trucks. For your 2016 Sierra 2500HD we do not have the Air Lift 7500's, we do have the Firestone Red Label with a 7,500 load leveling capacity # F2709 which will work great with the # BWGNRK1016 (B&W part number: GNRK1016). You only want to go with the 7,500 bags if you are really carrying a load over 5,000. If your load is under 5k I would go with the # AL57338 which would also be compatible with the # BWGNRK1016. By going to a larger bag, it can cause a rougher ride when you are not hauling a load due to the bag size.
What ever option you go with, it would pair nicely with the Firestone Air Command Extreme Duty Air Compressor with Tank - Smartphone App Only - Dual Path # F49VV. With the 2 gallon tank, you will even be able to air up your tires. The system has a remote and is bluetooth compatible, so you won't even have to leave the cab of your truck to control the bags.
I've included some install videos, and review videos for you to check out as they will give you a good feel for the product before purchasing. Once you get everything set up, please let me me know what you think about it, and what you are hauling with them. Hope 2025 is your best year yet!

Hey Matthew, how did things go pairing the B&W gooseneck hitch with the Firestone Red Label air springs on your Sierra? Your experience could point others in the right direction when choosing between the 5,000 and 7,500 options. Sharing how it turned out would be a big help to others hauling similar loads.
