Air Bag Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500HD

Updated 07/14/2025 | Published 07/06/2025

Question:

I have a 2008 Silverado 2500HD with a 5th wheel custom bracket kit on the frame and would like to install an air bag system. Would the LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate Air Spring Kit Part No. 57575 work, or the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle Part Number: F2250, or any other recommendations? I would like maximum support for trailer hauling and also for a slide-in camper. Thanks

Hey Andy, the best air bag kit that fits your 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500HD is the Firestone kit part # F2250 as we have had the best luck with the quality of the Firestone kits. Are you looking for a compressor setup as well?

Thank you for the information. Yes, I would also be interested in compressor setup options.

@Andy I really like the Firestone Air Command part # F56VV as it allows you to control the compressor via the included remote or your smartphone. If you prefer something more analog we have the part # F2549 which puts a gauge on the dash of your truck and also has a tank and air chock to inflate vehicle tires as well.
