Hello Mitch, thanks for getting in touch. The 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers item # AL88388 will not work with the adaptive ride control on your 2025 GMC 2500.

We are only aware of one air bag kit that will work with the adaptive ride control, and that is the Firestone Ride Rite # F2609. We have confirmed this with the techs at firestone, as well as with a few of our own customers who have successfully completed the install.

I also recommend you add an onboard compressor like the Firestone Air Command # F56VV. This way you can monitor and fill the bags on the go using your smartphone.

You will find our install video linked below.

What kind of trailer are you planning on pulling?

Their website says will not work with 3.0 diesel. Cannot find an anything to work with 3.0 and ARC. Thoughts?

@HughB Yes the Diesel engine and ARC would exclude all of the air bag kits. Like that Firestone # F2609 will work with the ARC but will not fit diesel models.

@JesseM Reply from LOGIQ: To start, the 2500 kit will NOT work on a 1500, they have very different mounting solutions. Now, the kit you should be looking at is the 88-31190 for your 2025 1500 Denali; this kit is compatible with adaptive ride control with additional part number 88-31190-1. Truck with the diesel REQUIRE the dual exit exhaust, as the single exit exhaust has some clearance issues with this kit.
