Question:

Will the pb44mv work on a 2018 gmc canyon crew cab 4wd with the 2.8 duramax diesel? Or is there something else that’s compatible for my truck? Also what compressor and wireless controller do y’all recommend for it? Thanks

Welcome back Jason! I checked with Pacbrake and confirmed their Alpha SD Air Bag Suspension Kit item # PB44MV is indeed compatible with the Duramax diesel models of the 2018 GMC Canyon.

The Alpha SD Air Bag Suspension Kit item # PB44MV has a 1,800 lbs capacity that will level out the rear end of your Canyon when you are towing a trailer or hauling a heavy load in the bed. All mounting brackets and hardware are included for installation.

I also 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.

What has you wanting to add air bags? Do you tow a trailer or haul around heavy loads in your bed?
