Rear Axle Air Bag Kit for 2016 Silverado 2500HD Duramax with B&W Turnover Ball Hitch
Question:
I have a 2016 Silverado 2500HD Duramax with a BandW Turnover ball installed. I am wanting to add a set of Firestone Ride-Rite rear bags for towing fifth wheel. Are these bags compatible with my truck with the BandW installed? If not do you offer a set that are?

Expert Reply:
The Firestone Ride-Rite rear air bag kit # F2709 is a correct fit for your 2016 Silverado 2500HD Duramax (both 2WD and 4WD) and it provides no-drill installation along with compatibility with your existing B&W turnover ball in-bed gooseneck hitch. The linked video illustrates the kit components.
Air tubing cutter tool # AL10530 makes it easier to get clean cuts in your air lines which helps avoid leaks.
If you care to add a compressor kit for automated pressure adjustment from the driver's seat you can use single-path compressor kit # F2097. This controls both bags equally which is fine for towing applications.
Be sure to maintain at least 5-psi in the bags at all times to prevent crimping and possible damage to the rubber springs. Maximum pressure is 100-psi for 5000-lbs of load-leveling support.
