Your photo did not come through although in order to mount the Firestone Ride-RIte Air Helper Springs # F2430 on your 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 with four-wheel drive you may be able to use the Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Vehicles w/ 3" Lift # F2368.
In order for these to work there needs to be 8-1/2" to 9-1/2" between the upper and lower brackets. If that is the measurement you took they would work.
It is possible you have a smaller lift and Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - 1-1/2" Spacers # F2536 could work as these are for 1-1/2" lifts and 6-1/2" to 7-1/2" between the upper and lower brackets.
