Suspension Enhancement for 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 Towing 5th Wheel Trailer

Question:

Hello. I was wondering if you could recommend a rear air bag kit for my 2019 Sierra 3500 to help when towing my 5th wheel? Thanks so much.

For your 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 I highly recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Air Helper Springs # F2709.

These heavy-duty 7,500 pound capacity air springs will do a great job of adding extra support to the rear suspension on your truck and the mounting brackets won't interfere with those from your existing fifth-wheel hitch. The durable construction of the Firestone bags are unmatched by other brands and their adjustable air pressure (5 psi to 150 psi) allows you to have a comfortable ride whether you are pulling your 5th wheel trailer or heading out on a Sunday drive with the bed completely empty.

I have attached a couple video demonstrations on this system that you can check out as well.

I also recommend considering the addition of a compressor kit like the Firestone Air Command II # F2168. This heavy-duty compressor system will allow you to adjust the springs from the comfort of your cab. I have included an installation video that you can use for reference.
