Air Bag Suspension Kit Recommendation for 2000 Chevrolet Express 2500
Question:
I have a 2000 Chevrolet Express 2500 van with 8 lug bolts on each single wheel in the rear and front. It does not have dual rear wheels. Several of your response to questions include this type of statement: Adding air bag helper springs, # F2337, will allow you to adjust the air pressure in the air bags to get the best and more cushioned ride for your passengers in your 2015 Chevy Express 2500. This kit fits 2-wheel drive models with 8-bolt wheels. When I check compatibility of the F2337 with the 2000 Chevrolet Express 2500 it says it is not confirmed as a fit yet there is a video showing installation on a later model. How do I verify which Firestone model will fit or if the F2337 will actually work for this van?

Expert Reply:
We have Air Lift air bag suspension kits that fit your 2000 Chevy Express 2500 van but nothing from Firestone. For the Air Lift kits you'd want the part # AL59526 if your GVWR is less than 7,300 lbs, or part # AL57205 for if your GVWR is greater than 7,300 lbs and you have a boxed frame.
These kits will give you additional suspension support but they do not make the ride quality of the vehicle any smoother. When engaged they actually will make it feel harsher since the suspension becomes stiffer overall.
In the driver side door jamb the GVWR would be listed.
