Will The Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Springs Fit a 2019 GMC Sierra 2500HD With Royal Utility Bed?
Question:
Hello, Im looking at purchasing the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle Item # F2709 for my truck. The vehicle is a 2019 GMC Sierra 2500hd long bed with a Royal Utility bed installed so might be a cab and chassis vehicle?. The rear of the vehicle sags under its own weight and there is a 1.5 difference to bottom of frame rail from ground front to rear. Will this kit work with my vehicle and will it be able to raise the back end up to maintain a level stance with the front of vehicle? I occasionally plan to tow a 7500# trailer using a load distribution hitch as well. Thanks for your help.

Yes, the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 will fit your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500HD. It appears GMC only offers a chassis cab for the 3500 so your truck will be the standard heavy duty with the bed removed and Royal Utility bed installed. These air springs will help you to reduce the total amount of sag you are getting. As the system installs on the base of the frame I see no reason the utility bed will interfere since it is mounted on top of the frame.
I recommend installing the Firestone Air Command II # F2219 compressor system. This system allows you to control the air pressure in each air spring separately so it can better level with uneven loads which are common with utility beds.
