I spoke with my contact at Firestone about whether or not the Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F2190, will fit your 2003 GMC Sierra with Quadrasteer. He stated that none of the Ride-Rite kits would work on your specific vehicle. But not to worry, there is another option.

I then spoke with my contact at Timbren, another maker of suspension kits. He stated that there was a kit available for your truck. Take a look at Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, # TGMFK25S. These are an easy to install hollow rubber spring that work to absorb road shock while providing a smoother ride and more level vehicle. I have included a link to the instructions below. I have also included a video review and installation of a similar product as well as a link to the Timbren FAQ page

The brackets on the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs #SS26MV are 1-1/2" wide so they will fit evenly across the humps on your spring pads. I do not recommend cutting down the spring and you will be able to use these even with only having…
