Does Adding Air Bag Helper Springs To a 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 Increase Factory Payload?
Question:
If I add 7500 pound rated airbags to the rear of a new GMC 2500 diesel, does that mean I can increase my payload capacity, provided that I don't exceed my rear axle rating, and tire weight ratings?

Expert Reply:
Adding Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Air Helper Springs # AL57541 to your 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 will improve your ride quality by reducing sag and adding stability. It will not increase your payload or towing capabilities. You should never exceed any limitations put out by the manufacturer unless they are the ones modifying your truck to gain additional capacity.
The Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000EZ will allow you to control the air pressure in each air spring individually. You can use either the included wireless remote or pair your smart phone using the Air Lift app to control the air pressure. A smart manifold will also monitor the air pressure while you are driving and make adjustments if the air pressure changes by more than 3psi. This is great to have if you mainly leave the air springs at the minimum 5psi while you drive.
