Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2014 GMC Sierra Carrying Blue Ox Overbilt Carrier
Question:
Will I need to add helper springs or air bags if I haul a 1000 pound bike in my 2014 GMC 1500 shortbox 69using this loader?

Expert Reply:
Air helper springs would be a great idea for use with a motorcycle carrier on your 2014 GMC 1500 as long as your truck has the weight capacity for this carrier plus the weight of your motorcycle. You will need to consult the owners manual of your truck to determine this.
For that the part # F2430 would be a great choice. Check out the install instructions and video I attached for more info. For a compressor kit to help regulate the air pressure of the kit you would want the part # F2178.
