For your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57204 if you do not have an 8 foot bed. For an 8 foot bed, you will instead use # AL57211. These will provide your Silverado with up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling support and help to reduce strain on its rear suspension. You can manually adjust the air pressure in order to get an even load distribution. Each spring can be inflated independently for side-to-side leveling of off-center loads. This is a no drill installation and all of the necessary brackets and hardware are included.

For the 4-1/2 inch lift on your Silverado, I recommend the Air Lift Lock-N-Lift Spacers # AL52440. These spacers will go between the air springs and the mounting brackets, filling the gap between the springs and the lifted suspension. This kit is designed for 4 inch lifts. Keep in mind that if your truck has just a body lift, then you will not need any spacers. You will only need the spacers if it is a suspension lift.
