Question:

Hi I have a 22 6500 4x4, it’s a service truck with a crane so it’s not balanced to well. I added leafs to the suspension but they cracked and sagged over time. If I go back to a factory leaf spring set up and add these bags will this help level it and make it ride a little smoother? Truck weighs 22k lbs and isn’t getting any lighter.

Yes, it will Ryan so long as you're not over the 7,500 lbs payload capacity. The Pacbrake Alpha XD Pro Air Bag Suspension Kit w/ Internal Jounce Bumpers item # PB87RV is custom fit for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 6500. This will be a great addition to the new leaf springs.

You are going to want to go with an air compressor that can adjust the air springs individually to fight that off balance feel. I recommend adding the Pacbrake Bravo Universal Wireless Air Spring Controls with Remote item # PB59MV to your truck. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from your phone. You'll be able to play with the PSI levels separately in the air bags to find the right balance for that crane.

How heavy is the crane?
