Can Helper Springs be Installed on a 2015 GMC Sierra Denali 1500 with Magnetic Ride Shocks

Question:

I was told that you cannot put air bags or helper springs on the 2015 Sierra Denali 1/2 ton because of the magnetic ride shocks. Is that correct or will your option work?

If the magnetic shocks are on the rear axle of your 2015 GMC Sierra Denali 1500 then an air bag product such as # F2430 will not work because it is meant to mount above a leaf spring stack and the shocks are likely in the way. I have linked a video showing installation and a link to the instructions for you to compare to your truck to determine if there would be a fit issue.

The magnetic shocks are supposed to adjust themselves according to what is required to provide the best ride. This could affect the performance of air bags that are attached to both the frame and the axle.

A product such as # TGMRCK15S attaches just to the frame so could potentially work provided the shocks are not in the way. I have linked a video and instructions for this kit for you to compare to your truck.
