Can Rear Air Bags Be Installed on 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 with 5th Wheel Hitch Installed
Question:
Hi. I want to add rear air bags to my 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 but I have 5th wheel rails installed. Can air bags be installed or would the brackets interfere? Thanks for your help.

Yes, you can absolutely still add rear air bags to your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the 5th wheel base rails mounted. I specifically recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Springs # F2613 because of their superior double-convoluted design that creates 4 layers of support when compressed. This provides an extremely durable setup that you don't have to worry about failing over time.
The custom brackets included with this particular kit will install to the bottom of the truck's frame rails so they won't interfere at all with the 5th wheel base rail brackets. The springs themselves provide a load-leveling capacity of up to 5,000 pounds and all the needed hardware is included.
I have attached a short video review and the written installation instructions below that you can also check out.
