Question:
I have a 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 4X4 SHORT BED. WILL THIS KIT WORK WITH AIRBAGS ALREADY INSTALLED ON FRAME OVER THE AXLE.

Helpful Expert Reply:
If your 2004 Chevy Silverado air bags mount the same as Firestone kit # F2250 which mounts just to the bottoms of the frame rails, then yes, you can use 5th wheel installation kit # RP50064-58. If your air bags mount to the outsides or insides of the frame rails then you will need to use universal installation kit # RP30035 (but will not fit 1500HD with 8 foot bed).
