Do I Need a Spacer When Adding a Firestone Air Bag Kit to a 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country?

Question

Question:

I have a 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country with Adaptive Ride Control ARC. Is the F2609 Air Spring compatible with the ARC? Also, I am confused if i need the 2inch spacer kit F2366. I dont think the truck has a factory lift but the F2609 instructions state the 2inch spacer kit is required for installation of the F2609 on the 2024 Silverado 1500 High Country. Can you verify if i need the F2366 spacer kit?

Hey Steve, thanks for all of the information. Your 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country does not come with a factory lift. You will not need the Lift Spacers item # F2366.

The main compatibility concern with the Firestone Ride-Rite item # F2609 is if your Silverado has the 3.0 diesel engine or an aftermarket gooseneck or 5th wheel hitch. This kit is not compatible with diesel engines due to how the exhaust is routed. The top air spring brackets attach to the frame rails in the same location as the frame brackets for an in-bed hitch.

If you don't have a diesel engine or an in bed hitch the Firestone Ride-Rite item # F2609 is exactly what you need for your 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country.

I recommend adding the Firestone Air Command item # F2610 to your truck. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from your phone.

I put the F2609 bags on my 2024 Chevy High Country with a 3L Diesel. I did not need spacers. These bags worked great and I highly recommend! I only wished I had added an air compressor to make filling them a little more convenient.
