Hey Jay! The Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label # F2709 will not require any modification to install on your 2021 Silverado 2500. These air bags are compatible with an in-bed hitch and have a no-drill installation.

I also recommend adding an air compressor like the Firestone Air Command Heavy Duty Air Compressor # F56VV. This heavy duty compressor is capable of a max 150 psi to match the air bags. It uses wireless controls via the remote or your smartphone.

What kind of 5th wheel are you towing?

Jay - I put both on my GMC Sierra 2500HD to pull my 38' 5th Wheel and they work great ! Having the ability to adjust the spring's psi via remote control is a game changer. And they really smoothed out our ride. I did have someone install them for me, but I highly recommend.
