Question:
Looking into this hitch for my 2025 silverado 2500 Custom 4wd with the standard bed without the factory puck system. My question is will this work with the AL88341 air lift air springs? Or is there a similar air bag set up that also has the ability to run at 0 psi that will work with this hitch system?

Hey Jonathan.
If you're wanting to have an airbag set up alone with a 5th wheel hitch, you will want to get a FIrestone kit. The Airlift kit you asked about, part # AL88341, will not be able to be installed along side a 5th wheel, or gooseneck, as the beckets will get in the way of one another.
Firestone has designed their brackets so that they will not interfere with a 5th wheel or gooseneck. Including the B&W part # BW45SR. So you will want to get part # F2613 or part # F84XV if you need a compressor. All of the airbag kits must have a minimum of 5PSI. If they dip below the 5PSI you could start to see damage over time and it wouldn't be covered under warranty.
Are you worried about how the truck will handle when you're not towing? You will notice a slight change in your day-to-day drive but it wont be a night any day difference, but you will feel it. That's going to be with any sort of suspension enhancement.
