How to Install Heat Shield for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bags on a 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
Question:
I’m still reviewing the installation process before my purchase and my question is. How and how/where does the heat deflector attach? I have a 2020 Chevy 2500HD LTZ 4x4 with a six foot bed.

The heat shield for the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 will install on top of the air spring located on the side of your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 that has the exhaust (I believe it's the passenger's side). The heat shield is located on top of the air bag and then the upper spring mounting assembly (mounting bracket) will be on top of that. You just need to position the heat shield so it protects the air bag best from your exhaust.
Attached is an installation video of this same kit on a 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 for you to check out. If you jump to the 12:21 minute mark of the video you'll see where Shane references the heat shield.
