Are Spacers Needed for Firestone Air Bags on 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 With Lift Under Leaf Springs
Question:
Hello, my question is will this set up work for my truck, with the 6 inch spacer? 2012 silverado 1500 ltz with 6 inch lift. The rear lift on my truck has 7 inch blocks under the stock leaf springs. Will this system still work?

Expert Reply:
Since the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2430 install on the axle of your 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 as opposed to the leaf springs, you will need spacers in order to use the kit to get the system to work. For your 6 inch lift you will need the Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2375.
I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2430.
