The best option for your situation would be to return the Firestone Ride-Rite kit, # F2400, if possible and pick up the Ride-Rite kit, # F2430, because every major component is different between the two kits, including the air bags.

The air springs that come in the # F2400 kit are larger than the springs designed for your 2010 GMC Sierra which can cause interference issues with other components on the truck, so we cannot recommend using the same springs.

I have attached an installation video for the Ride-Rite kit, # F2430, for you to check out.

The length of wire desired depends on your vehicle connection and your personal preference. You want enough slack for turning, but not so much for dragging as you mentioned. A little extra slack isn't a problem and not enough could lead to stress…

The thread size is 3/8"-24 but the fitting size is 3/16". This standard for trailer brake lines. This will go from 1/2 inch thread size to 3/8 inch. If the dimensions you took are 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch of the threads this will fit.
