Question:
I was looking at the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bags for my 2024 GMC Sierra AT4 but have read they dont work if I have the 3.0 liter Duramax. Can you confirm, and if so, whats the best alternative?

Expert Reply:
Hey TIm! That is correct, the Firestone are bags are not compatible with the diesel engine. What I recommend instead is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL88388. These are specifically designed for AT4 models, and they don't have that diesel restriction.
I also recommend adding an air compressor like the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System # AL25980EZ. This will allow you to control the pressure in the air bags from the cab of your truck no matter where you go.
What are you towing/hauling with the Sierra?

I installed the Air Lift 5000 on my AT4 w/ 6.2L gas engine and they work great!(straight forward to install) I pull an Imagine 35ft trailer and these air bags combined with the Rancho 9000 XL shocks are a big improvement.
