Expert Reply:

The best air helper springs that are 5,000 lb capacity are the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2613 because of the construction of the bags and their compatibility with in-bed hitches.

The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2613 are designed to fit the 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 even if you have a gooseneck or fifth wheel hitch in the bed because the parts do not install in the same spot as the gooseneck/fifth wheel brackets. The other options are either not compatible with the in-bed hitches or require drilling into the frame to install.

They are also more durable compared to the other options because they are 4 layers of rubber compared to 2 layers with the other options. The 4 layer construction is less likely to be punctured by moving components under the vehicle or flying debris.

I highly recommend to add a compressor system part # F2219 to deflate and inflate the bags from the cab instead of carrying around a bulky compressor or stopping at a gas station for air.
