Comparing the Air Lift 7500 Airbags vs Firestone 7500 Airbags for a 2020 GMC Sierra 3500

Expert Reply:
For your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 4x4, I recommend using the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs part # F2710 over the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs part # AL57541. The main reason is in regards to the construction of the airbags. The Firestone airbags use a crimp rolled design which is much more durable than the band clamp used with the Air Lift counter part. I have attached a photo of the crimp roll for you.
In order to take full advantage of these airbags you will want to add an air compressor kit. I recommend using the Air Command Compressor System w/ Wireless Remote and Heavy Duty Compressor part # F96VV because it has a heavy duty compressor that will withstand frequent use and a wireless remote so you don't have to run any airlines into the cab. This kit is by no means required but does make life easier.
