Recommended 7500lb Air Helper Springs and On-Board Compressor For 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 DRW
Question:
I have a 2016 GMC 3500 DRW LONG BED with receiving pucks for 5th wheel hitch pulling a 20,000 lb 5th wheel. I’d like 7500 air bags which brand would work the best, and a compressor that can also be used for filling tires, thanks

Expert Reply:
For your 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 Long Bed DRW with the OEM Prep Package I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # F2709 which are confirmed to fit your truck, and have the 7500lb load leveling capacity you were wanting.
The Firestone air helper springs are my recommendation due to them having a rolled crimp seal holding the air spring to the metal end plate making it a very strong spring.
Moving on to the on-board air compressor I recommend the Air Lift QuickShot Compressor System for Air Springs - Support Line and Reserve Tank - Dual Path # AL25572 which will allow you to adjust the air pressure in the helper springs from the driver seat of your truck, and has a 2 gallon reserve tank that can be used to air up tires like you were wanting.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
