Recommended Air Helper Spring and Spacer for 2006 Chevy Silverado with 6 Inch Lift
Question:
Hi, I am looking for air bags for my 2006 gmc sierra denali 1500 it has a 6 inch lift so I need spacers. Is there anything to use for this setup? I tow a lot in summer a travel trailer which is making rear sag a little even with weight distribution hitch. Please let me know thanks.

Rather than the AirLift # AL88275, I'd recommend using the Firestone # F2190. A vehicle with a 6 inch lift would use the # F2374 spacer.
AirLift simply uses a band clamp to attach the air spring to the upper and lower mount plates. Firestone uses a much more strong roll crimp arrangement which is much more sturdy and less likely to leak.
You might also find having an on-board compressor system like part # F2219 convenient to have. A compressor system would allow you to make adjustments to the air pressure in the system as you're rolling down the road, without having to carry a small 12-v compressor that takes forever to fill things or find a gas station with a working compressor..
I've linked to some videos that you might find helpful.
