Recommended Air Springs for 2014 Chevy 1500 4x4 with 6 Inch Lift
Question:
I have a 2014 Chevy 1500 4x4 that is lifted 6. the rear has lift blocks on it for the lift. I am looking at getting helper air bags for when I tow. I already use a weight distribution hitch but would like some more. Is there a kit that can be used with a lift or one that is better than another? I can do some fabrication if needed to make it work. Thanks for the help.

For your 6 inch lifted 2014 Chevy 1500 4x4, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2430. This air spring set will come with manual inflation valves, but if you want to have access at any time to adjust the psi of your bed to level the load, I recommend the Firestone Air Command I - Analog Gauge w/ Standard-Duty Compressor - Single Function - 130 psi # F2158. This will give you a gauge as well as a toggle switch to add or release air from your air springs.
Due to your 6 inch lift, you will also want the Lift Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Vehicles w/ 6" Lift # F2375.
