Recommended Air Compressor System For Firestone Airbags On a 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD

Question:

Driving a 2021 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD, 4WD, Duramax. Want to know if I add the Firestone airbags now, if I can add the onboard compressor later. If so, which compressor is recommended? Or will any do? Towing 35 ft. fifth wheel with near 2800 lb. hitch weight and almost 14K when loaded for extended travel and camping. Using a Companion 20K hitch. Any info appreciated and thanks for your time.

Yes, you can install the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2613 on your 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 4WD Duramax now and add a onboard compressor system at a later date. You will be able to add air pressure to the air bags with the included valves just like you air up your tires.

I recommend the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL58WQ as being the best system that we offer. This system allows you to wirelessly inflate or deflate your air bags from your smartphone and the Air Lift app. That means no extra remote with batteries that are always dead when you need it or running air lines into your cab to monitor the air pressure. The smart manifold will also maintain your air pressure settings to within 3psi of your settings meaning you can keep your attention on the road in front of you.
