Hi Jeffrey, thanks for reaching out! For your 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 DRW, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2613.
This kit features 5,000-lb capacity air springs, making it an excellent choice for towing a bumper-pull trailer, fifth-wheel, or gooseneck. The adjustable air pressure lets you level your truck, improve ride quality, and add stability based on the load you're carrying.
If you'll primarily be hauling a slide-in truck camper or carrying a heavy load in the bed on a regular basis, I'd recommend stepping up to the 7,500-lb Firestone Ride-Rite kit # F2709 instead. It's better suited for constant, heavier bed loads.
I also recommend adding an onboard compressor, the Firestone Air Command Heavy Duty Air Compressor # F56VV. It's definitely worth investing in if you'll be hauling frequently so you can make those adjustments on the fly.
What kind of trailer will you be hauling?

I installed a similar product on my 2022 2500HD. Worked great with the remote control system. Still need to add anti sway brackets to the leaf springs though.

I have a 2021 2500. I put in the 5000lb bags to help level a 5th wheel. They work great and they were easy to install. Only recommendation woul be to add the pump. I have a little jump box that has air. It's not that bad but the compressor would be better.

Hi, im running the Firestone Ride Rite air bags on my 2019 Sierra 2500HD and frequently tow a 9000 lb travel trailer. These air bags have improved the handling and stability tremendously! Highly recommend!! Easy install with hand tools in a few hours

I have a slide in truck camper with a wet weight almost 4000#. So I'm thinking the 7500's will be better too
