Air Bag Kit Recommendation for 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 with Gooseneck Hitch
Updated 08/07/2025 | Published 07/14/2025
Question:
I have a 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 SRW. Im looking into air bags to level out my truck when towing our 16000lbs 5th wheel camper. My problem is I have and aftermarket Goose ball hitch installed and a lot of the air bags I have seen say they wont work with aftermarket frame mounted hitches. What options do I have to help me level out my truck?

Hey Israel, we have the Firestone Ride Rite kit part # F2709 that is a confirmed fit for your 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 and is compatible win in-bed hitches like your gooseneck hitch so it would work great. Firestone makes the highest quality air bags so we recommend their kits very highly. Do you need a compressor kit too?
