The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # F2709 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2017 Chevy Silverado 3500. We have spoken to Firestone before and they state that on trucks that have just a 1 inch rear lift, a spacer kit really shouldn't be needed for installation and proper performance. In fact they do not even make a 1 inch spacer kit. Adjusting your air pressure will level your truck.

If you install the springs and you find there is a bit too much space, you can always add the 1-1/2 inch Lift Spacers # F2536. You will want to use this if you measure a distance of 6-1/2 to 7-1/2 inches between the upper and lower brackets.
