Best Air Spring Suspension Enhancement to Fit with B&W Turnoverball in 2016 GMC Sierra 2500
Question:
I have a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500HD crew cab standard box 4-wheel drive. I am looking to install a BandW Turnover ball hitch and a airbag helper spring. I am not sure which brand is better than others and wanted to know their compatibility with the BandW hitch.

Expert Reply:
Firestone is the best brand to use for air springs. They use 4-ply rubber springs and the rubber springs are attached to the end plates with a rolled crimp seal.
For your 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 the highest rated system is the Ride-Rite Red Label # F2709. This system will support up to 7,500 pounds at 150 psi. This kit is compatible with your B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch.
If you'd like to add compressor to monitor and control the air pressure from inside the truck's cab use the Air Command # F2097.
