We have just what you are looking for.

The suspension enhancement I recommend for your 2008 Chevrolet Duramax is the Firestone Ride-Rite Helper Springs, part # F2250. This system can be installed without drilling and helps work with your suspension when you are towing or carrying heavy loads. The system helps with sagging and helps absorb road shock. Installing a suspension enhancement system will not increase the vehicle weight carrying capacity and should only be used on a vehicle with a good working suspension.

We also carry the spacers you would need with this system. for your 6-inch lift kit you would need part # F2375.

To be able to adjust the level of air in your suspension system from the comfort of the driver's seat I recommend installing a compressor system like the Firestone Air Command II, part # F2178. This is a dual-path system that lets you adjust the system side-to-side for those times when you are carrying uneven loads. This will let you control how much air is in the system by just flipping a switch. It comes with an analog display so you can keep track of the air pressure in the system.
