Hello Gene, thanks for reaching out. We do offer an air bag kit that will be compatible with the Hellwig # HE56FR sway bar on your 2016 Chevy 2500 Diesel. What I recommend are the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2613. These are 5,000 lb capacity air bags. They are going to be compatible with aftermarket sway bars, as well as in bed gooseneck or 5th wheel hitches.

Take a look at the install video I linked below. Feel free to reach out with any other questions or comments and I am happy to get back to you.

Hey Gene, how did the Firestone Ride-Rite air bags work out with your Hellwig sway bar and Arctic Fox camper? Your update could make it easier for the next person trying to balance sway and load support on a similar truck.
