Question:
Hello, I have a 2018 Silverado 1500 4x4 that I pull a 5600lb travel trailer with tounge weight of 750lbs. Which air bag system would be a good pick? What is the difference between AL57204 and AL88204? Both say 5000lbs. Thank you

Hey Paul, the big difference between the Air Lift Loadlifter 5000 part # AL57204 and the part # AL88204 is that the part # AL88204 has an internal jounce spring in it that acts basically as like a fail safe for if the air bag were to fail and the other kit does not have that. Personally I don't recommend the jounce spring variant as it doesn't allow you to totally remove all support if ever needed. With just standard air bags you can run the minimum 5psi and you'll get a completely stock ride quality but the jounce spring variants give you additional support that can't be adjusted away which is one of the big benefits of air bags. So I would recommend the part # AL57204 for your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500.
