Yes, they do. The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F2249, you were looking at, are confirmed to fit the cab and chassis models of the 2001 Silverado 3500 Duallys. This system has a 4,800 lbs capacity that will keep the rear end of your truck level when you are towing a trailer or hauling a heavy payload.

To operate the airbags from inside your Silverado, I recommend using an air compressor kit like the Firestone Air Command I item # F2097. This kit comes with an air compressor, single path controller, and all other airlines and fittings needed for installation.

Hello Steve. I do have a good solution for you, but I cannot recommend using the Malone Adapter #MPG544. Since it is rated for towing only 4,000 lbs, your 8,000 lb towed vehicle would be double the max towing capacity. You are right about there being…
