Question:
2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation with max trailering package. Would like to purchase, in the near future, air ride to accommodate my towing needs. Do you have a specific bolt on kit? Looking at manual air gauge with fill toggle for inside the truck. With the compressor, do you need to run an air tank?

Hey Ryan, thanks for reaching out. We do offer an air bag kit and compressor for your 2025 GMC 1500 elevation. Here is what I recommend:
- Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers - Rear Axle # AL88288
- Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System for Air Helper Springs- Heavy Duty - Single Path # AL25854
The air bag kit is a no-drill bolt on install. The brackets are made to be compatible with any in-bed 5th wheel hitch brackets. If your truck has 5th wheel brackets along the side of the frame rail, some minor drilling will be required. Also note this kit will not fit vehicles with factory adaptive ride control.
The compressor is a single path compressor system which will be great for any bumper pull, 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer. It has a gauge that goes in the cab for monitoring and filling the bags.
Running an onboard air tank is not a requirement. The compressor can feed the air springs directly. The onboard air tank is a nice convenience though because it can be used to fill tires or pool floaties or whatnot.
What kind of trailer will you be pulling?
