The highest capacity air bags we have for a 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 is the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs item # F2709. These have a 7,500 lbs load leveling capacity. They fit the 2WD and 4WD Sierra's with single or double rear wheels. This kit is also compatible with in bed hitches.

I have attached a couple of pictures below and linked an installation video so you can see how to get these air bags set up.

I recommend adding the Firestone Air Command item # F2610. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags individually from your phone.

The 7290 that you see is a casting number. It is found on AL-KO hubs that fit #99 spindles. I found that the bearings used are #28580 which would be the inner bearing and #25580 which would be the outer bearing. For the seal use #91030.

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
