Recommended Air Bags for 2016 Chevy 3500 with Below Bed 5th Wheel Rail Kit

Question:

I have the Reese below bed hitch mount #RP30868 on my 2016 Chevy 3500. Which air bags if any will fit without doing any drilling? Thank you.

For your 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 with the Reese Under-Bed Rails # RP30868 installed, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2709. These air helper springs are confirmed to fit your truck and fifth wheel rails for a no-drill installation.

This is a really nice system that features a 7,500 pound capacity. Because the air bags can be adjusted manually, side to side, with individual inflation valves, you will be able to maintain an even load distribution regardless of the type of cargo you are hauling. All of the needed brackets, air springs, hardware, air line, and valves are included.

I also recommend looking into adding the Firestone Air Command I Compressor System # F2097. This will allow you to monitor and inflate the air springs from the comfort of your cab.

I have attached the written installation instructions for these products that you can also take a look at.
