For the SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motor Homes with Air Brakes - Proportional # SM99243 on your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500, you will not need the stop light switch kit. I've attached a video of the installation to assist with installation. This video includes the Battery Disconnect Switch # RM-766 you mentioned so you will see how to connect the Air Force One in conjunction.
