Hey George, congrats on the new truck! You are definitely going to need to support the axle when lifting your Silverado with the Pacbrake Alpha HD Pro Air Bag Suspension Kit item # PB25RV. Lifting your truck by the frame will stretch the bags too far if you don't support the rear axle.
This is a common issue amongst all brands of air bag kits. You'll want to make sure whoever is servicing your truck knows to support the axle or not put it on a lift.
What are you planning on towing with your new truck?

Jerred, thanks for the info. I have one more question after watching videos on your website, Can I put a tee on the airline and fill both bags at one time. That way I only have one valve. My air bags are on the way, I will be towing 8X16 enclosed trailers for my Concession Business. Thanks George
