Recommended Air Bag System for a 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT
Question:
I have a 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT, Im looking for a set of Air Shocks to fit this truck but cant seem to find them. If I cant find air shocks I guess my next option is air bags, I want a no drill application for Air bags if thats my only option. But again I prefer air shocks! Thank you

I have a solution for you. We do not have air shocks for a 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT but we do have a no drill application for a great set of Air bags. They are the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2609. These have a 5,000-lb weight capacity. The air bags reduce the strain on your rear suspension, increase safety, and compensate for uneven loads. Personally, I believe these are better than shocks because you can use an onboard air compressor like item # F2168 to adjust the PSI from the comfort of your cab. This compressor is dual path which allows you to adjust your air bags independently. This will help you compensate for uneven loads like a heavy slide out.
