Best Air Bag Kit Recommendation for 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 towing Trailer
Question:
I am gettting about a 1-1 1/2 inch squat on the rear of my truck when hitching a 34 foot travel trailer with equalizer Ed hitch. I’m intersected in an air bag system to level my ride. I’d like recommendations for the right airbags and witless compressor. Also I’m at the lowest holes on a six inch equalizer shank to get trailer level with stock suspension. Will I need an 8 inch shank once airbags are installed to compensate for increased higher of rear end? Finally, will the airbags affect my daily driving? What PSi do I keep for non towing driving. That’s for your help!

For reducing the sag you are experiencing when towing with your 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 the best air bag kit is the part # F2613. This has the highest quality air bags out there and with a wireless compressor like the part # F2097 you'd be set. When not towing you'd want to inflate them to the minimum psi in the bags of 5 psi which would not affect the ride quality at all.
Most likely you'd need an additional drop shank for your WD system, but I'd need to know what size hitch you have installed on your truck to pick out correct size.
