The Firestone # F2430 you mentioned is confirmed to fit your truck, however it is not compatible with an in-bed hitch like the PullRite SuperGlide that you plan on installing.

For your Chevy Silverado 1500, I instead recommend looking at the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57204. These air springs are confirmed to fit your truck and will work with an in-bed hitch, as they will attach to the bottoms of the frame rails. They feature a 5,000 pound capacity and will do a great job of enhancing your truck's suspension, improving it in both safety and ride quality. The air springs will allow you to manually adjust the air pressure so you can get even load distrubtion and support regardless of what you're hauling.

I have attached an installation video on your Silverado that you can use for reference.

Answer 6

My contact at Yates Rubber advises that a nominal 8-inch keel roller does not measure exactly 8 inches; typically they are slightly smaller than the specified size, much the way a piece of 2 x 4 lumber is not exactly 2-inches by 4-inches. I took…
