Question:

Expert Reply:
Hello again Blake! For air bags I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2613. Firestone makes the most reliable air bags with the most durable construction so they're definitely the best option. Unloaded ride quality isn't really a concern since you can run them at the minimum 5 psi when you aren't towing or hauling so you won't notice a difference.
I also recommend adding an air compressor like the # AL25980. This will allow you to adjust the pressure no matter where you're towing from the cab of your truck. This system comes with a remote and can also be operated through the app on your phone.

Hey Blake, how did the Firestone Ride-Rite air bags work out on your Chevy when you’re not towing? Did running them at the minimum pressure keep the ride smooth like you wanted? Your feedback could really help others who only tow part of the year.
