The top of the line Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 would be an excellent option for your 2016 Sierra. Firestone is a time tested brand that stands behind its industry leading air bags with a limited lifetime guarantee.

However, I would go with the Air Lift LoadLifter # AL88396 because it is more cost effective and has Internal Jounce Bumpers that set it apart from Firestone. These Internal Jounce Bumpers act as a back up if the air bags were ever to lose pressure. Air lift has a Limited lifetime guarantee on this model also.

To help prevent leaks in your air system I would pick up aTubing Cutter # AL10530 as well.

I also recommend a compressor system, so you won't have to rely on a compressor at home or filling up at gas stations while on a trip. I would go with the top of the line Firestone Dual Air Command # F49VV. This heavy duty dual gauge system with compressor is compatible with both Firestone and Air Lift Bag Kits.
