Hi Have a 2022 Silverado 2500 duramax. Looking at getting air bags and compressor setup. Mainly pulling a 14,000 lb camper emptied so probably 16-17,000lb.

Air bags and a compressor are a really good idea to help support the suspension of your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 when you are towing, and let's go ahead and start with the best air bags for your truck, which are from Firestone:

- Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2613

The Ride-Rite # F2613 are the best because they are the most well-constructed air bags available. The Ride-Rite air bags are made with four layers of reinforced rubber, which is a thicker, more reliable construction than other air bags which have just two layers of rubber. The higher quality of their build means not only are they going to provide your Ram with the best overall support, they are also the most dependable air bags.

These air bags are also compatible with 5th wheel or gooseneck hitches, and are a smart idea because they will help absorb the brunt of the added weight the trailer adds to the back of your truck, and help level and stabilize your truck. A compressor is going to make it much easier to monitor and maintain the psi in the air bags, and the best option for that is a wireless compressor:

- Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL25980EZ

The WirelessONE # AL25980EZ is compatible with the Ride-Rite air bags, and is super easy to use, allowing you to control it with either the included remote or with an app on your smartphone, so there won't be any additional wiring or air lines inside your Ram's cab. It also includes a U-bolt mounting kit so you don't have to drill into the frame of your Ram.
