Question:

I am wanting to add air helper springs to my 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 for when I am carrying stuff in the bed or towing my trailer. Which kit is the best for me?

For your 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 I recommend going with the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2609 as the Firestone springs are bit higher quality than Air Lift springs due to the number of plys used in the rubber, but also due to the rolled crimp the Firestone springs use to secure the end plates.

This kit gives you up to 5,000lbs of load leveling support which is adjustable between 5 - 100 PSI so you can really fine tune the support to your rear suspension based on what kind of load you are carrying or trailer you are towing.

To keep from having to manually inflate the helper springs when your truck is loaded I recommend adding an on-board air compressor. I recommend the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL74000 due to it being able to adjust each spring individually so you can level off-center loads, but also for it using a remote instead of bulky analog gauges that clutter up the interior.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
