The air bag system you need will depend on if your truck is a 1500 or a 2500/3500 model. For a 1500 model, you'd need the Firestone # F2430 or part # F2613 for 2500/3500.
The type of lift used on your truck will determine if a spacer is needed. If you have a body lift, you won't need a spacer. However, if a suspension lift was used, you'll need the # F2536 spacer kit. I have confirmed this with my Firestone rep. I've linked you to a video showing the # F2430 kit being installed on a 2010 Chevy Silverado.
