If you need support on the rear of your single-wheel 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 when you tow your 5th-wheel trailer, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted # F2613. The installation of the Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs will be able to install on your vehicle while you have your 5th-wheel trailer mounted in your bed. As far as support, air springs will provide support to alleviate stress on your rear axle and allow you to adjust the firmness to your load size. They have a load-leveling capacity of 5,000 pounds and can inflate from 5-100 psi.

If you are looking for an air compressor to manage your air springs, I recommend the Air Command Compressor System w/ Light Duty Compressor # F2610. The great thing about the Air Command is that it will allow you to independently adjust the springs from the ease from your smart device. It will also withstand moisture, road chemicals, salt spray, and extreme temperatures.
