If you have the cab and chassis model of the 2009 Chevy Silverado 3500HD, we have two AirLift 5000 airbag kits that will work with your 4X4. For this you can choose from either the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs part # AL88286 or the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57286. If you have the regular pickup model then you will want to use part # AL57275 for standard or part # AL88275 for ultimate.

The Ultimate kit has an internal jounce bumper built into the airbag that engages at lower air pressures to better absorb road shock and minimize bottoming out. It also lets you temporarily carry a load with zero air pressure in your spring. Both airbag kits are designed to reduce the strain on your rear suspension, increase safety, and compensate for uneven loads.

To operate the airbags from inside the vehicle, I recommend using an air compressor kit like the Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System for Air Helper Springs part # AL25592. This kit comes with an air compressor, single path controller, and all other airlines and fittings needed for installation.

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…
